Our concept is to create a sustainable cosmetic packaging made of specific algae that can be thrown in the sea and can be eaten by seat turtles. With this innovative solution, we counter the massive plastic issue that ends in the ocean, and sea turtles benefit of our concept: our packaging will provide nutriment to turtles that eat them
We are using more plastic than ever. According to scientists, the amount of plastic in the ocean is set to increase by 2020. The reasons of plastic overuse are that it is convenient, cheap to produce, malleable and durable. Yet, plastic pollution is harming the planet. It threatens the environment, the wildlife and our health. It is estimated that approximately eight million tons of plastic find their way into seas and oceans every year. We can find five massive garbage patches of plastic in the oceans. These collections of marine debris are not biodegradable. They break into tinier and tinier pieces because of the sun and become microplastics.
The Blue Mirror team is honored to present the Treat and Feed Project. The concept is to create a sustainable cosmetic packaging made of brown algae that can be thrown in the sea and can be eaten by sea turtles while being beneficial for them at the same time, because of the nutriments we will add to it.
