A small act for a better future
From this year our country has definitely taken a step forward in terms of environment respect. With the Directive 2019/904 issued by the European Parliament on 5 June 2019, a net reduction in single-use plastic for certain products is foreseen.

It is easy to understand how its very short duration of use and its difficult recycling transform plastic into an often superfluous element and a highly polluting product!

On the bottle we have engraved our logo accompanied by a turtle, this to remind us that when it comes to plastic emergencies, the numbers are really relevant, explains the WWF.

It is a small step that is part of a wider awareness campaign that will characterize various initiatives of the group…
