Less Plastic July is approaching. When we all go green together, change happens. Choose products packaged in recycled plastic, sustainable paper, or even zero-plastic packaging to make the world a fresher, greener place.
Background of #Less Plastic July Campaign
Plastic-free July is a global movement initiated in Western Australia in 2011. It aims to raise awareness, encourage people to reduce plastic use and waste and promote sustainable alternatives.
