Plastic has its place in our modern world. It is durable, long lasting and provides an air/water/hygiene barrier for goods. For example with food products, this helps promote shelf life and reduce food waste (a huge issue in itself!) and with medical products this is essential for them to comply with safety and hygiene standards. As someone who undertook prolonged medical care in 2019 after my bowel surgery, I had to use a fair few plastic wrapped items when I was looking after my wound. In honesty, I found it hard to not feel guilty for my plastic consumption at that time, but I knew that this level of hygiene was important for my health 👩‍⚕️ Now don't get me wrong, I am not advocating for widespread plastic use. It isn't needed in many cases and can often be unnecessary and problematic. We need to of course focus on reduction, reusing and recycling - working towards a more circular economy when it comes to plastics. I have incorporated a whole host of sustainable swaps into my lifestyle over the past few years to reduce my personal plastic use, from switching to a reusable coffee cup through to changing up my period products (menstrual cups are a game changer!) ♻️ I would love for you to get involved in the conversation, leave a comment down below with your thoughts on plastic and follow @clearonplastics to stay in the know. Have you reduced it? Are you a recycling fiend? What changes have you made to your life to help fight plastic pollution?
