Excessive plastic consumption is one of the biggest contributors to climate change, with a shocking 300 million tonnes of plastic ending up in oceans each year.
Perhaps even more shockingly, it’s predicted that more than 100,000 marine creatures are killed each year as a direct impact of plastic pollution in oceans. And if changes aren’t made, there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean by 2050.
With this in mind, it’s vital that we find new and innovative ways to look after our planet when it comes to using plastic.
At LifestyleGarden®, we’re a leading supplier of recycled outdoor furniture to customers in the UK and around the world.
This includes our garden chairs in the Nassau collection that are entirely made from recyclable plastics.
Our Nassau range has a number of other great advantages in addition to using recycled plastic materials and FSC-certified eucalyptus legs.
In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the top five reasons you should consider Nassau furniture.
It’s no exaggeration to say that the world is facing something of a plastic pollution crisis at the moment. A staggering 300 million tonnes of plastic is produced each year; if we continue at this rate, four times as much plastic as currently exists will be produced by 2050.
The main reason this level of plastic consumption is bad is due to where it ends up once it’s been discarded.
Unfortunately, the majority of plastic ends up in the ocean, having a catastrophic effect on the environment and marine life. In fact, over 100,000 marine creatures are killed each year due to the effects of plastic in their habitat, and it’s estimated there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean by 2050.
At LifestyleGarden®, we’re committed to creating sustainable yet stunning outdoor living products that not only look great, but are manufactured in ways that are kind to our planet and minimize plastic pollution.
One of the ways we honor this commitment is by partnering with other organizations that help us bring environmentally-friendly products to our customers.
