Plastic Free July is an annual global movement that has rapidly gained momentum since it began in 2011. Its mission is simple - to encourage people to help reduce plastic consumption for the whole month and beyond.
In a recent article by the Independent is estimated that a whopping 400 million tons of non-biodegradable plastic is produced worldwide which causes harmful effects to the environment, animals and even us, as it has been reported microplastics have been found in human blood.
If we don’t make significant changes as businesses, brand ambassadors and consumers, leading industry experts have predicted that by 2050, there could be more plastic weight than fish in the sea which is a major red flag. It’s time to make changes now! Supermarkets have pledged to go plastic-free by the end of 2023 and the UN has recently settled on a plastic pollution Treat that could help to reduce the amount of plastic being funnelled into the ocean by more than 80% by 2040.
As a experts in the field of holistic health, Kinetic we hold accountability for the part we play as a business, and we are committed to supplying ethical and organic only products across beauty, nutrition and superfoods which we have done now for over 25 years. It only fitting therefore, that we support Plastic Free July by celebrating and acknowledging three of our sustainable brands that use plastic-free packaging.
