Manufacturer Emballator has announced that they are going to be using a new water-soluble packaging that is made out from polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) which is able to dissolve after use. POVH is a polymer with a carbon, hydrogen and oxygen base that dissolves upon contact with water. According to Emballator, PVOH can be converted into […]

We’ve heard a lot recently that debris dispersed in the water is one of the main sources of microplastic contamination in the ocean. However, new research suggests that an aging seaweed may also make a significant contribution.Microplastics in the ocean are small plastic particles or fibres that float in water and are ingested by fish.

Microplastics are tiny pieces of plastic debris in the environment resulting from the breakdown of larger plastic items. They are harmful to the environment because they do not biodegrade readily. They have been found in dust, food, fruit, bottled water, and, as a consequence, animal and human faeces, according to a recent study. Human exposure
Research Found That: More microplastics in babies’ faeces than in Adults. Read More »
Environmental advocates are suing Victoria’s environment regulator in the Supreme Court for allegedly failing to limit carbon and toxic air pollution. Under the state’s climate act, government agencies are required to take climate change into consideration when making decisions. Environment Victoria will argue the state’s Environment Protection Authority failed to do this when it renewed

The plastic we use unthinkingly every single day, the plastic we throw away without a moment’s thought, lives on within our environment. In nature, such plastic kills our wildlife, as many animals mistake it for food. A research from the University of the South Pacific compared the offshore concentrations of microplastics with those closer to
The plastic we use unthinkingly every day is surely and slowly killing our planet. Read More »
For many materials, recycling is cost-effective and environmentally friendly. Take, for example, aluminium, which can be recycled indefinitely, using 95 percent less energy than it takes to produce new aluminium. When it comes to paper, the benefits are obvious: the Environmental Protection Agency estimates that one ton of recycled newsprint saves about 15 trees and
