Plastic Pollution: A 21st Century Environmental and Health Challenge

Plastic pollution has become one of the most pressing environmental crises of our time.

According to the Health and Environment Observatory, approximately 8 million tons of plastic are dumped into the oceans every year, the equivalent of a garbage truck full of plastic being emptied every minute.

ECODES - Time to act


If we do not reverse the trend, it is estimated that by 2025 there will be one ton of plastic in our oceans for every three tons of fish, and by 2050 there will be more plastic than fish.


Health and environmental impacts

The accumulation of plastics in marine ecosystems not only affects wildlife, but also has a direct impact on human health. Microplastics, tiny fragments that result from the degradation of plastic products, have been found in drinking water, food, and even the air we breathe. Their ingestion can cause adverse health effects, including endocrine disruption and other problems that are still being studied.


Landopp's response

At Landopp, we recognize the magnitude of this challenge and are committed to developing innovative solutions to help reduce plastic pollution. Our focus is on the research and production of organic and biodegradable materials that can replace conventional plastics in various industrial and everyday applications.


Biopolymer Innovation

Our efforts are focused on creating biopolymers from renewable resources, such as agricultural residues, that not only reduce dependence on fossil fuels, but also provide a sustainable and biodegradable alternative. These materials are designed to integrate efficiently into the circular economy, minimizing environmental impact from production to decomposition.


A call to action

The current situation is critical, but we believe that with innovation, commitment and collective action, it is possible to reverse negative trends and build a cleaner, healthier future. We invite everyone to join us in our mission by adopting responsible consumption habits and supporting initiatives that promote sustainability.
