The environmental situation facing the world is very concerning and a large part of this is due to plastic waste. With the world currently generating 300 million tonnes of plastic waste a year, a significant portion of this being single use plastic which does not degrade. This has led to as much as 8 million tonnes of plastic waste flowing into the ocean annually, which has been estimated to cost the world more than $2.2 trillion a year in environmental and social damage. With estimates saying that by 2050, without any change, plastic manufacturing could account for 20% of global oil consumption and 15% of global carbon emissions, creating huge environmental concerns. Mega Fortris are extremely aware of the severe negative impact plastics have on the sustainability of our planet, which has led us to develop biodegradable seals, thereby doing our part in securing a greener future.
