According to a report by Our World in Data, around 350 million tons of plastic waste are produced every year, with 1-2 million tons reaching the oceans. Packaging accounts for 40% of this waste, attributed to its extensive use and brief lifespan. Asia contributes 80.99% to the world's annual plastic waste. Vietnam alone produces 3.1 million tons of plastic each year, with 10% ending up in water bodies, ranking it among the top five countries contributing to oceanic plastic pollution. Adopting thermos bottles over single-use bottled water can significantly cut down plastic waste, save costs, safeguard health, and encourage a healthier lifestyle.
The Sustainable Finance Institute's message, "Refill, Reuse, Refresh - One Planet, One Bottle at all times!" underscores the importance of sustainable action in protecting the environment.
