Plastic pollution has become a major environmental issue in recent years, with single-use plastic items being a major contributor. We know this, but when was the last time we actually said no to plastic? Hard to remember, right? Because it is so embedded in our daily lives that most people do not even realize when they're using plastic. What if we say that plastic is in our blood as well? It may sound absurd, but this is a reality now! Microplastic has been found in human blood, which is a serious concern.

Plastics are convenient, but at the same time, they are most hazardous to use. Sustainable products are the need of the hour.

As per UNEP, around 1 million plastic bottles are purchased every minute. And out of 7 billion tonnes of plastic waste generated so far, only 10% has been recycled. While what’s done cannot be undone, we can still take corrective measures to prevent the situation from worsening.

One of the best ways to combat plastic pollution is to reduce single-use plastics and switch to eco-friendly alternatives to plastic. In this article, let’s discuss five such sustainable products that we can use in our daily life to help reduce plastic pollution.
