Joining forces to combat plastic pollution
Excerpt
Plastic pollution has become a growing problem, negatively affecting many livelihoods and ecosystems sustained by oceans and waterways. Babyflo, a leading personal care brand under PHILUSA Corporation, has partnered with Plastic Bank, a Canada-based social enterprise, on a program to help reduce ocean-bound plastic waste and pollution. In the first year of their collaboration, PHILUSA Corporation and Plastic Bank have stopped 50,000 kilograms of plastic from entering the ocean — the equivalent of 2.5 million plastic bottles.
