At Innova, we are deeply concerned about the impact that waste has on the ocean and its delicate ecosystems. With 14 million tons of plastic waste ending up in the ocean each year, we recognize that this is a serious problem that requires an immediate solution. Plastic waste flows into the ocean from rivers, while waste from factories and farms also contributes to this problem. This waste is killing sea life and introducing microplastics into the water, causing serious damage to aquatic ecosystems. We must all do our part to address this issue and protect the ocean for future generations.

The reality of ocean contamination is alarming and calls for immediate action. Did you know that Amcor Limited, the global producer of plastic packaging, has 14 sites around the world? In 2021, it's predicted that 583.3 billion plastic bottles will be produced, and the world currently consumes a staggering 1 million bottles every minute. Unfortunately, only 50% of those bottles are recycled, leading to the lasting pollution of our oceans. At Innova, we're committed to making a difference and creating solutions to reduce ocean contamination. Join us on our mission to protect our planet.

It is time for individuals, companies, and societies to take action and support the restoration of our oceans. At Innova, we believe that everyone can make a difference. We encourage you to educate yourself about the problem and work to educate others. We also encourage you to support individuals and companies who are working towards ocean conservation, donate to relevant causes and support new innovation that can make eco-friendly solutions more accessible.

We are proud to highlight the work of the six companies worldwide who are dedicated to cleaning our oceans and rivers, as well as the exhaustive research and in-depth analysis they are undertaking to address the ten countries with the worst contributions to plastic waste. But cleaning and collecting is just the beginning. For these companies, the hard demanding work continues as they strive to find innovative solutions to reduce plastic waste and prevent it from ending up in our waterways, all while building partnerships and empowering local communities.

At Innova, we understand that education and awareness are essential to make a positive impact on the environment. We aim to educate the next generation on the importance of addressing plastic waste and marine pollution and the health effects of pollution. We encourage better shopping habits and help people to seek out alternatives to single-use plastics. Our organization supports companies that prioritize sustainability and donates our time and resources to conservation organizations. Join us in making a difference and creating a better future for our planet.

While there are some legislations in place to protect the environment, there is still a lot of work that needs to be done. At Innova, we believe that industries must be held accountable for their impact on the environment. This includes proper management of waste and avoiding industrial dumping. We believe that it is essential that governments invest in sewage treatment plants to ensure that our waterways are properly protected and that we can continue to enjoy our natural resources for years to come.
