We Are Econic – Redefining Sustainability
Introduction
Picture the last time you attended a party or ordered takeout. Chances are, plastic plates, spoons, and containers were involved. They may have been used for just 20 minutes but they’ll remain on Earth for hundreds of years.
Plastic tableware is one of the most common yet overlooked contributors to global pollution. At Econic, we’re tackling this problem by replacing harmful plastics with eco-smart alternatives made from palm leaves, sugarcane bagasse, and bamboo. Here’s why it matters.
The Environmental Cost of Plastic Tableware
1. It Lasts Forever
Plastic plates and cutlery can take 500+ years to decompose, meaning every piece ever made is still somewhere on this planet.
2. Microplastics in Our Food
When plastic degrades, it breaks into tiny microplastics. These end up in soil, water, and even the food we eat. Recent studies have even found microplastics in human bloodstreams.
3. Toxic Waste
Burning plastic releases harmful gases like dioxins and carbon monoxide, contributing to climate change and respiratory issues.
4. Marine Pollution
Plastic tableware often ends up in oceans, killing turtles, seabirds, and fish. The UN estimates that over 100,000 marine animals die each year due to plastic waste.
