The Global Plastic Waste Crisis

The world produces nearly 380 million tonnes of plastic annually, with a significant portion dedicated to single-use products like carry bags, shopping bags, industrial packaging film, agricultural mulch film, and hygiene film. India alone generates around 3.5 million tonnes of plastic waste annually, of which over 43% is single-use plastic. Due to its non-degradable nature, plastic waste accumulates in landfills, oceans, and natural ecosystems, causing severe environmental damage and posing health risks to humans and wildlife alike.

Plastic waste is a growing threat to both global and local environments. Globally, less than 9% of plastic is recycled, with the rest either incinerated or dumped in landfills and oceans. This waste contributes to pollution, disrupts ecosystems, and causes harm to marine life, birds, and animals that ingest or become entangled in plastic. Moreover, toxic chemicals leaching from plastic waste contaminate soil and water, making it harder for nature to heal.

Eco-One®: Pioneering Sustainable Solutions

At Eco-One®, we are addressing the plastic waste crisis by offering innovative and eco-friendly alternatives. Our flagship product, GreenBin Garbage Bags, is made from natural fibers like corn and wheat. These materials require less energy to produce, thus significantly minimizing energy consumption and waste during manufacturing.

The standout feature of the Green Bin Bag is its 100% biodegradable and compostable nature. Unlike traditional plastics that take hundreds of years to decompose, these bags break down into carbon dioxide, water, and biomass—materials that are completely safe for the environment. Additionally, they are non-toxic and dissolve instantly when exposed to Dichloromethane (Methylene Chloride), allowing customers to verify their compostable nature.

Environmental and Health Benefits

Compostable bags like the Green Bin Bag not only prevent further pollution but also contribute positively to the environment. After use, the bags decompose into natural elements that enrich the soil, boosting its fertility and fostering healthier ecosystems. In doing so, they create a sustainable, eco-friendly cycle that aligns with the increasing need for environmentally conscious living.

With growing plastic pollution and its detrimental effects, the world is waking up to the necessity of switching to sustainable alternatives. At Eco-One®, we are committed to driving this transition by offering everyday products that are safe, environmentally friendly, and help reduce our ecological footprint.

By choosing Eco-One® products, you join the movement to reduce single-use plastic waste, conserve natural resources, and protect the planet for future generations.
