A small GREEN project and right usage of plastics for sustainable future into the school culture

Stop choking the earth, unleash from plastics and incorporate this simple idea into education system

Plastics can be used sustainably. Through the responsible production, use, and management of packaging’s, the Flexible industry sector can support the SDGs through innovative products and practices that minimize negative impacts, protect the environment, promote social progress, and support economic growth as well. Elementary institutions can play a vital role by educating the disadvantages.

The environment is where we all meet and where we all have a mutual interest in. Sadly, plastic pollution is an obvious sign that we have constructed an unsustainable world for future generations. The planet is in crisis, and we must take decisive action to stop the damage, and to restore its health. So, nature is at the heart of our climate actions before we run out of time. Don't let it burst!

About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

Plastics - It’s cheap. It’s light. It’s safe. It’s hygienic. Imagine the COVID-19 pandemic without plastic! More than 8 billion tons of plastic have been produced since it was invented in the 1950s. And that only 14% of plastics are recycled, with 79% of plastic waste ending up in the landfill, clogging up the oceans. Be part of the change. Engage globally to change the lives! Move to alternatives

What does your innovation look like in practice?

A sustainable future means a future that is ecologically, socially and culturally sustainable. Everyone is responsible for building a sustainable tomorrow. We can take part in many ways to secure the wellbeing of our planet and ourselves.
The vision is that one would take a plastic bag that is of no value, and instead of throwing it away, where it ends up in a landfill, it would turn it into something of high value that can change the economics of turning the rest of it into something that is of lower value.
Life-cycle assessment (LCA) is a tool that can be used to quantify lifetime environmental impacts in multiple categories, including climate change and energy use, water and resource depletion, biodiversity loss, solid waste generation, and human and ecological toxicity etc. United Nations created 17 Sustainable Development Goals and aimed to achieve them by 2030 through Sustainable industrialization, Sustainable production, Climate change and Land degradation sustainably.

How has it been spreading?

Recently developed, Solar Bottle Lamp is a solar-powered light that is constructed from waste plastic bottles, P & G India becomes “Plastic waste neutral” Company, Making shampoo more sustainable by eliminating water-most useless ingredient, Boxed water-an eco-friendly alternative to plastic bottles, Byfusion has found a new way to reuse plastic that would never get recycled. We can all make a difference. Our main goal for the next 2-3 years to develop the full cope of sustainability including plastic pollution free green commitment, learning, knowledge, guidance, books, Policy and showcasing enviro achievements etc. to young educators. The power is in all of us consumers, producers, and policy makers, to contribute to a more sustainable and less wasteful future, for us and for the planet

Implementation steps

An experimental belonging with a learning in mind.
A lifelong learning process, whereby each individual acquires attitudes, values, skills and knowledge from the educational influences and resources in his or her own environment and from daily experience. This includes everyday experiences and experiences in designed settings, also includes experiences in out-of-school programs, such as after-school clubs, programs, and citizen sciences, can help individuals learn to react to and control different situations & settings, combines social entities.
Elementary institutions can play a vital role here
By educating the disadvantages of using environmentally impacted products like plastic and being inspired to using environment-friendly recycled products. Plastics can be used sustainably. Through the responsible production, use, and management of packaging’s can support the SDGs through innovative products and practices that minimize negative impacts, protect the environment, promote social progress, and support economic growth as well. This concept must be included in the education level.
Launch of E learning course on harnessing climate
The main objective of this event is to highlight the importance of climate & SDGs synergies, particularly in the context of the challenges facing the global community, plastics to stop pollution before it enters the oceans. When durable plastics are littered on the ground or dumped into rivers, they are often transported to seas. Once in the oceans, they are almost impossible to get out. If countries were to sort & store their waste better, they could prevent plastic from leaking into the ocean.
