Pack sustainably, avoid plastic waste
In clothing, in toys, in packaging … plastics are everywhere. Because they are so versatile, so cheap and – precisely where the problem lies – unbelievably durable. Anyone who looks into the topic will come across shocking images: giant plastic islands that make their way into oceans; microplastic-eating fish, strangled seals and seabirds meeting a painful end. But this doesn't show what is beneath the surface.
The plastic plague: Facts, figures & more

There is evidence of ocean turtles of the fourth generation alive today entangled with six-pack rings that are still being produced.
There are more than 30,000 tons of plastic nets in circulation in the EU each year. End-to-end, the planet could be wrapped in them 7 times.
Plastics remain in the sea for up to 450 years. That was about the year in which William Shakespeare was born.
The oceans are already contaminated with 100 million tons of plastic. However, on average, subsurface water and inland bodies of water are 13 times more contaminated than the sea.
Plastics are made up to 99 percent of fossil fuels. CO² is emitted during the extraction and also combustion of oil, gas and coal – with devastating effects on the environment.
About 15% of all plastic waste is recycled in the country (Germany). As an export nation, Germany is in the same league as Asia as the 3rd biggest supplier of plastic waste.
