Single-Use Plastic: Is it sustainable?

Single-Use Plastic (SUPs) products have become an essential part of our lives. These are used once, or for a short period of time, before being thrown away and added to the enormous plastic waste problem. The impacts of plastic waste on the environment and our health are global and can be drastic, especially SUPs, which are usually the most littered items.

Reduce. Reuse. Refurbish. Recycle at Proper Channels.

Waste & Sustainability

Sustained economic growth and lifestyle changes fuels incremental change in consumption patterns and consequently places enormous pressure on natural resources increasing generation of toxics waste. With raw materials becoming scarce and energy more expensive, it is imperative that we use resources more efficiently, minimise waste generation and use waste as a resource for generation of secondary raw materials. For sustainability, it is also important that we focus on reducing the adverse impacts of waste on our air, soil and water.
