- GreenKart is a B2C marketplace or an e-commerce platform to buy organic & eco-friendly products which are alternative to plastics.
- We have all the products from popular & rising Indian Startups who are working for the betterment of environment through their products.
Let's get into some facts & figures: 💯
- We go through 10 billion plastic bags worldwide every week.
- Plastics don’t break down, they break up, becoming a permanent pollutant in our environment.
- Microplastics have been reported in food for human consumption. the average person could be eating up to 5 grams of plastic a week.
- 8 million tonnes of plastic pollution enters our oceans each year. It’s estimated that by 2050, there will be more plastic in our oceans than fish.
So what's the solution? Recycling?? ♻️
- Only 9% of our plastic has been recycled, and only 10% of that has been recycled more than once.
- Recycled plastics are mostly downcycled, meaning that they’re recycled into products of lesser quality which are less likely to be further recycled
- Recycling is important, but will never be the solution to our rapidly expanding plastic consumption
Doesn't seem like a very good option, does it?
Green marketing is a growing trend in the business world, but its adoption is hindered by a number of challenges, including a lack of standardization, consumer awareness, trust, and online product information. This lack of standardization makes it difficult for consumers to assess the environmental claims of different products, and it also makes it difficult for businesses to compete fairly.
