Who is the culprit?
Most of us have become potentially well aware of the ramifications of BPA in plastic, and we give our valiant efforts to keep ourselves and children away from it. We make sure we do not buy products that have BPA in it. But should this mean that we do not mention another harmful and the most significant culprit in plastics
- The PVC?
Healthy Child is a Healthy Future!!
PVC—polyvinyl chloride or vinyl that has been described as a cancer-causing agent by World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research is found in a list of items right inside your safe homes, starting from children’s toys, medical aids to food packaging. This good faced, deceptive content is high on chlorine and makes toxic pollution in the form of dioxins that accumulates in animal’s fat reaching the extremes of the food chain.
Not just the aftereffects, but there are various negative ecological effects from the creation and utilization of this material, for example, issues in discarding PVC, make it tough to be reused. Plastic today has also invaded the Salt that we eat in the form of micro-plastics.
Children are not adults – their growing minds and bodies, their digestion and practices make them interestingly powerless against the effects of dangerous synthetic concoctions discharged by PVC. Phthalates released by PVC products are found to be most concentrated in children ages 6 to 11.
Healthy Child is a Healthy Future!!
Plastic is a wondrous material. It has helped in revolutionizing the whole concept of adaptability and flexibility. No one can ignore the economic benefits of this boon- turning into- bane material. PVC used in packing the food has a SAFER ALTERNATIVE- “Polyethylene wrapping films”.
Packed food is a modern way of life that can’t be ignored and it is the easiest way through which the harmful plastic makes its way into the fragile human body.
Children that are the future of this planet are turning environmental conscious. They not only want to protect their sandwiches from getting staled but also their planet from getting chocked.
Solution?
Yes, PE Plastic Wraps by Specialty Polyfilms.
The idea is to Reduce, Recycle and Reduce. PE plastic films help in the circular economy where items are 100% recyclable, used less due to lower density and reused.
What Can You Do?
You can take steps to create our planet green again, and at the same time help the children to have a healthier future.
- Educate yourself: Know about the alternatives
- Educate Others: Pass on the knowledge, and encourage the use of safer plastics.
- Create demand: Availability increases and prices come down when consumers create demand.
Go PVC-free!
Like the Stone Age and Iron Age, we are living in the Plastic Age. Alongside a solution to the existing plastic problems, a new plastic future is also required. Switching to Safer Plastics is the first step towards it. In the grand scheme of things, these steps are quite minuscule, and some might term them frivolous. But if we keep sitting and waiting (and writing) for the ‘big’ change, it’s highly unlikely to come out of nowhere.
We can’t just stop using plastic altogether.
The future of plastic lies not in its complete demise but its reinvention and better use.
