What is Plastic-Free July? Small Steps Make a Big Change

Plastic-Free July: The Story of a Global Movement

The Plastic Free July movement, started by a small group of environmental volunteers in Australia in 2011, has become a global environmental initiative affecting millions of people around the world. So what is the purpose of this movement?

One trillion plastic bags are used every year. These bags are discarded after an average of just 15-20 minutes of use. However, they take hundreds of years to decompose. And it's not just the bags themselves; plastic straws, cups, plates, storage containers, packaging... They all cause irreversible damage to the environment.

That's where Plastic-Free July comes in. The movement aims to eliminate single-use plastics and create lasting habits. It's not just about reducing plastic use for a month, but also about inspiring people to start making sustainable choices all year round.

Small Steps, Big Impacts

Many people think reducing plastic use will be difficult. However, even small steps can make a big difference. For example:

• Carrying your own thermos instead of a plastic bottle,
• Using cloth bags instead of plastic bags,
• Not using straws or switching to metal straws,
• Choosing products with minimal packaging instead of plastic packaged products.

These simple changes reduce our individual carbon footprint and make a difference in production chains by reducing plastic demand.

UNIQVIBE's Perspective

At UNIQVIBE, we don't view Plastic-Free July as just a month-long awareness campaign. We prioritize environmental stewardship with every choice we make in our products and packaging materials. We're committed to minimizing plastic waste with our recycled, biodegradable packaging, produced with D2W technology.

Join Us

This July, you too can start with a small step. Remember, every choice changes the world. Pack your cloth bag, pack your thermos, carry a metal straw instead of a straw, and inspire others.
