International Plastic Free Day 2026

Over 380 million tons of plastic is produced every year. Half of all plastic
produced is single-use – meaning it’s thrown away after just one use.

Since only 9% of all plastic gets recycled, most of it ends up littering our
communities, filling our landfills, and polluting our oceans. But did you
know, it takes between 100 to 500 years to degrade, depending on the type of
plastic?

Here at McQuilkin, we pride ourselves on actively working towards a plastic-free
world. We understand it is difficult to move away from single-use plastics, but
offer plastic alternatives i.e. glass products, environmentally friendly products
and can offer simple greener solutions, such as recycling of empty chemical
bottles.

Reach out to your Account Manager today and together, we can protect our
environment!
