How Areca Leaf Plates Reduce Carbon Foot Print

Worldwide, more than 300 million tons of plastic is produced every year, and half of this is single-use plastics. Single-use plastic includes water and soda bottles, plastic grocery bags, product packaging, straws, coffee cups and single-use plastic baggies. A single-use plastic item has a significant carbon footprint, contributing substantially to climate change due to the fossil fuels used in its production, transportation, and disposal, with estimates suggesting that the overall impact of single-use plastics on the environment is considered quite large due to their widespread use and limited recycling rate.

According to Scholar 1 kilogram (kg) of plastic you use, you emit around 1.7 and 6 kg CO2 per kg of plastic. That's equivalent to driving a car for 6 kilometers (km).

Since our journey we have replace 200000 pcs single use tableware producing nature based tableware that is ARECA LEAF TABLEWARE.
