Join Us in Saving Our Oceans - Say No to Polythene!

At Flement Lanka , we believe in a cleaner, greener Sri Lanka and a safer world for all. Today, we’re urging everyone to take a stand against one of the most harmful pollutants in our oceans – polythene. This material, often used in plastic bags and packaging, has far-reaching and devastating impacts on marine life and our planet’s health.

Why Polythene Pollution Matters

Each year, millions of tons of plastic waste end up in the ocean, and polythene is a major culprit. It breaks down into tiny particles known as microplastics that are easily ingested by fish and other marine animals. This not only disrupts the ocean's delicate ecosystem but also introduces harmful toxins that can make their way into our food chain.

Did You Know?

- Nearly 80% of marine pollution is made up of plastic waste.

- Over 100,000 marine animals, including turtles, dolphins, and whales, die each year from ingesting or becoming entangled in plastic debris.

- A single polythene bag can take up to 500 years to decompose, meaning the plastic you throw away today could affect marine life for centuries.

How We Can Make a Difference Together

As individuals, we all have the power to make small, sustainable changes that collectively create a massive impact. Here are some ways you can help reduce polythene waste:

Opt for Reusable Bags

Carry a reusable cloth or jute bag whenever you go shopping. Every plastic bag refused is one less in the ocean.

Say No to Plastic Packaging

Support brands and products that use eco-friendly, biodegradable, or recyclable packaging materials.

Dispose Properly

Make sure polythene waste goes into proper recycling bins. Avoid dumping it near water bodies, as it often finds its way into the ocean.

Participate in Cleanups

Join local beach or river cleanups, or organize one in your community. Every piece of plastic collected is a step towards a healthier ocean.

Spread the Word

Talk to friends, family, and colleagues about the dangers of polythene pollution and encourage them to make environmentally-friendly choices.

Our Commitment at Flement Lanka

We are dedicated to sustainable practices in everything we do, from production to packaging. Our goal is to help establish Sri Lanka as a leader in environmentally friendly initiatives and contribute to a global shift towards sustainability. By supporting responsible consumption and using eco-friendly alternatives, we are striving to reduce the harmful impacts of plastic and polythene on our oceans.

Together, we can help protect our planet’s lifeline – the ocean. Let's all be part of the solution and ensure a cleaner, brighter future for generations to come.
