Official description
There are so many deeply troubling statistics about plastic waste. They should be hard to ignore. For example, every year, as many as 13 million tonnes of plastic leak into our oceans, according to UN Environment. That’s a truckload every minute. An article on National Geographic reasons that there are 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic waste in our oceans, of which 269,000 tonnes float on the surface. Only 9 per cent of all plastic ever produced is thought to have been recycled.
There is a lot of work to do. For a number of years, Oris has been on a mission to bring Change for the Better, part of which has involved raising funds and awareness for some of the world’s most pioneering ocean conservation agencies. For example, we’ve been partnering with Everwave (formerly Pacific Garbage Screening) to promote the development of an innovative floating platform designed to prevent plastic waste reaching the ocean. But we always feel we can do more.
