Plastic is a major threat to our oceans and water ecosystem health. We want to make a positive impact on plastic pollution, and this starts with understanding our own plastic consumption. We have partnered with the organisation Plasticbank since 2018 to help remove plastic from coastal areas and compensate our annual plastic consumption.
WHAT ABOUT OUR EMISSIONS?
Some emissions cannot be avoided and though we aim to reduce our net-emissions, wewant to make sure we are doing the best we can on our journey towards improvement.
Over the past three years we have been tracking our emissions through a life cycle analysis to better understand the impact our company has on the environment. Our emissions reflect all the CO2 equivalent emissions that ONEKA produces from the raw material supply to the end-of-life transport and treatment.
