A personal message from us: Last Monday we closed our office and since then we work from home. We are dismayed by the speed with which the Coronavirus is shaking our environment and we are shocked by the seriousness of the disease. We are worried about you and each other.
In the coming weeks we will be able to continue our work to the best of our ability, but with an eye out for everyday reality. And if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask them!
Even in this difficult period, let’s try to keep our plastic footprint as small as possible. Disposable plastic cups and other food packaging are less hygienic than you might think. Your own reusable cups and bottles are very easy to clean!
Above all, we have only one wish: stay healthy and take good care of each other… and of our world. 🌍
All love,
PSF Team
Good news! The winner of the Green Challenge of the broadcaster Omroep Max’s new TV programme Iedereen Kan Het! (anyone can do it!) has thought up a clever solution for single-use food packaging – packaging made of seaweed.
Nylon and polyester hinder the growth and recovery of our airways, scientists from the University of Groningen (Rijksuniversiteit Groningen), TNO, and Plymouth Marine Laboratory conclude in new research into the effects of microplastics and microfibers on our health.
European countries are part of the plastic pollution problem in South East Asian countries because shady dealers are free to do what they like. This was yet again the finding of a recent broadcast by Pointer in cooperation with investigative journalists (in Dutch).
By 2025, Dutch supermarkets promise to use 20% less plastic packaging material than in 2017. According to this promise, by 2021 we would be at around 10%.
