Bluewater Says About, Possible Solutions of Micro-Plastics Pollution in World Oceans

Bluewater, a world leading water purification company, said human ingenuity and technology had the power to protect human health from the threat of micro plastics in a world that will see half a trillion plastic bottles produced a year by 2030.

Bluewater Adventures is committed to preserving and protecting the beautiful coastline that we all enjoy, but to do that we need your help in spreading the word.
The United Nations’ environment agency says plastic pollution has been detected from the Arctic to Antarctica and in remote places including the Mariana Trench, the deepest part of the world’s oceans in the Pacific.
Tiny bits of plastic from the breakdown of everything from shopping bags to car tires – were detected in nine of 17 water samples collected off the Antarctic peninsula by a Greenpeace vessel in early 2018.
Human ingenuity and current technology can address threats posed by micro-plastics ocean and drinking water contamination, says water brand Bluewater at World Environment Day Volvo Ocean Summit in Cardiff, Wales. Announcing a one-million-dollas award for ‘waterpreneurs’, Bluewater proclaimed support for the ‘One Plastic Free Day’ initiative, aimed at ending unnecessary plastic packaging.
“We all have a duty to protect planetary health and that’s why we’ve launched our Drinking Water Challenge together with our partners at 11th Hour Racing, a US non-profit promoting collaborative, systemic change benefitting the health of our ocean,” said Bluewater President Anders Jacobson.
Speaking to over 100 politicians, scientists and others attending the Volvo Ocean Summit in Cardiff, he said people need to understand that “we are as much part of the solution today as we’ve been part of the problem.”
Mr. Jacobson said Bluewater was proud to be a supporter of the One Plastic Free Day initiative, organised by A Plastic Planet, which will see millions of people on World Environment Day boycott food and drink that makes use of single-use plastic packaging for 24 hours. He said Bluewater “backs the movement because it inspires people to make a choice for a more sustainable planet”.
