PLASTIC POLLUTION - THE PROBLEM OF STRAWS
Pollution with plastic waste has a very negative impact on the environment and reaches a critical level. Pollution of the world's oceans is particularly problematic. The biggest problem is disposable plastic - among the most common are straws. More and more countries are therefore looking for measures to save our environment, which is suffocating under tons of plastic. The European Commission has thus adopted new rules at EU level banning the use of certain disposable plastic products, including straws.

Danger of microplastics
Mikroplastika kot vir onesnaževanja povzroča posebno skrb, saj je okolje nasičeno z njo. Ker je drobna in lahka, je čistilne naprave v postopkih mehanskega čiščenja ne morejo popolnoma odstraniti. Pojavlja se v pitni vodi, zastruplja vodne živali in povzroča zdravstvene težave.
Green plastic
In recent years, more and more eco-products have appeared on the market, advertised with the terms bio-based plastics (made from biomass - corn, potatoes, cereals, vegetable oils, secondary crops from agriculture, etc.) and biodegradable plastics (which degrade in different environments). ). Bioplastics are often also made from oil. The problem with bioplastic products, in addition to environmental issues, is that only this (if biodegradable) degrades only in a very specific environment.
