Tackling Plastic Pollution: How Lido The Label is Making a Difference

Plastic pollution is one of the most pressing environmental issues of our time, affecting ecosystems, wildlife, and human health. Every year, millions of tons of plastic waste end up in our oceans and landfills, where they persist for hundreds of years, harming marine life and contributing to the degradation of natural habitats. This crisis demands action from industries, governments, and individuals—and at Lido the Label, we’re committed to being part of the solution.

The Plastic Problem

The statistics surrounding plastic pollution are staggering. Approximately 8 million metric tons of plastic enter the oceans each year, forming massive garbage patches that stretch for miles. Marine animals, from sea turtles to seabirds, often mistake plastic for food, leading to injuries, starvation, and death. On land, plastics fill up landfills and leach harmful chemicals into the soil and water, disrupting ecosystems and polluting the air we breathe.

Despite efforts to reduce single-use plastics, the global demand for plastic products continues to rise. Without significant changes, it’s estimated that by 2050, the oceans could contain more plastic than fish. But this grim future is not inevitable—there are solutions.
