Brewing a Greener Future: How Craft Brewers Are Tackling Ocean Plastic Pollution
The world faces an alarming environmental crisis: the steady accumulation of plastic waste in our oceans. To put it into perspective, every three minutes, a garbage truck's worth of plastic is dumped into the sea — a staggering amount that takes years to decompose and poses severe threats to marine life. Ingested plastic debris can be deadly for animals such as fish, turtles, and seabirds, often leading to injury, starvation, or death. Recognizing the gravity of this issue, a group of passionate craft brewers has taken innovative steps to combat ocean plastic pollution, turning beer packaging into a tool for environmental stewardship.
