The World has a problem: Plastic waste
Since 1950 approximately 8.3 billion tonnes of plastics have been produced globally, half of which in the last 13 years alone.
This corresponds to approx. 400 million tons in CO2 emission per year.
This corresponds to approx. 400 million tons in CO2 emission per year.
A Detriment to our Environment
Over 5 million tonnes of plastic waste seep into our environment and ocean every year. Around 11% of this plastic waste, stems from the maritime industry in the shape of fishing nets, trawls, ropes, and boxes.

The World is Waking Up
A systemic shift towards a circular economy for plastic, in which plastic never becomes waste, is required.
If we do not rethink to recapture and recycle plastic waste for a sustainable future, we risk billions of tons of plastic in our oceans by 2050.

A GREENER FUTURE FOR GREENLAND AND THE WORLD
PLASTIX is proud to have been a part of this amazing pilot project with WWF Denmark and Kommuneqarfik Sermersooq, Greenland in 2018-2020.
The project was designed to identify opportunities for Greenland to be part of a new, circular economy, by testing whether old fishing nets left from the dump in Nuuk could be recycled and turned into new, green plastic.
Now, after the project’s successful completion, WWF Denmark has produced this short film in order to share the story and to inspire others to follow in the same footsteps towards a sustainable future.
Speak by singer Julie Berthelsen and produced by Simply Studio, Copenhagen.

EN GRØNNERE FREMTID FOR GRØNLAND OG VERDEN
PLASTIX er en del af dette fantastiske projekt med verdensnaturfonden WWF Danmark og Kommuneqarfik Semersooq, Grønland i 2018-20.
Projektets formål er at identificere Grønlands muligheder for at blive en del af en ny cirkulær økonomi, ved at teste om gamle fiskenet fra et affaldsdepot i Nuuk kan genbruges og omdannes til ny grøn plast.
Efter projektets succesrige gennemførelse har Verdensnaturfonden Danmark produceret denne korte video for at dele historien og inspirere andre til at følge i de samme fodspor hen imod en bæredygtig fremtid.
Filmen speakes af sanger Julie Bertelsen og er produceret af Simply Studio i København.
