Virgin Megastore bans plastic bags from their UAE stores

Virgin Megastore Tidak Lagi Menggunakan Kantong Plastik dalam Toko UAE-nya!

 

As civilization evolves, consumerism grows, resulting in rapidly rising numbers of plastic usage. Malls and shopping centers are everywhere around us to match the current consumeristic lifestyle of the world, however some stores are starting to take action. Amongst these is Virgin Megastore, who is the first major retailer in the UAE to switch to plastic-free bags.

Seiring perkembangan zaman, konsumsi masyarakat juga semakin meningkat. Hal ini turut menjadi salah satu faktor masifnya penggunaan plastik dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Tingginya konsumsi masyarakat menjadikan mal dan pusat perbelanjaan banyak bermunculan. Diantara pusat perbelanjaan yang ada, beberapa sudah mulai melakukan aksi untuk mengurangi penggunaan plastik. Virgin Megastore merupakan salah satu retail besar di UAE yang melakukan aksi dengan tidak lagi menggunakan kantong plastik.

 

 

Virgin’s substitute for plastic bags are Avani’s Bio Cassava bags, that have been customised for Virgin. The bags are made from organic resins, cassava starch and vegetable oil making them 100% biodegradable, compostable, certified non-toxic and are proven to be harmless if consumed by animals.

Virgin Megastore menggunakan bio-cassava bag dari Avani untuk menggantikan kantong plastik yang sebelumnya digunakan. Bio-cassava bag Avani yang terbuat dari resin organik; pati singkong serta minyak sayur ini merupakan produk yang 100% biodegradable, dapat dikompos, tersertifikasi bebas racun dan terbukti tidak berbahaya apabila terkonsumsi oleh hewan.

Virgin’s new bags, the #thisbagisahero shopping bags, are now available in all Virgin megastores in the UAE. Further insight into the manufacture of the bags are shown in a video that has been published on social media by Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin group. Richard’s instagram post has already been viewed over 72,000 times.

Proses pembuatan bio-cassava bag Avani ini dapat dilihat melalui video yang diunggah oleh Richard Branson, founder Virgin group, pada media sosial Instagramnya.

 

 

This also is a big milestone for Avani in their aim to provide eco-friendly substitutes for plastic products to battle the waste pollution. Kevin Kumala, Co-founder and CEO of Avani, says “We are excited to collaborate with Virgin Megastore as the spirit of innovation are embedded in both of our company values. I am hoping this is only the first collaboration with many more to follow with Virgin group in ensuring a more sustainable future.”

Kerjasama ini juga merupakan batu loncatan dan peluang besar bagi Avani yang sejalan dengan tujuannya dalam menyediakan solusi pengganti produk plastik. Kevin Kumala, Co-founder dan CEO Avani, mengatakan bahwa ia sangat senang dan tertarik untuk berkolaborasi dengan Virgin Megastore. Ia berharap perusahaan lainnya dapat turut mengikuti langkah Virgin dalam mendukung masa depan yang berkelanjutan.  

 

Thanks to stores like Virgin, the goal of a more sustainable future is one step closer, and will continuously grow closer by every action every individual is taking.

Terima kasih kepada brand seperti Virgin, masa depan yang berkelanjutan dan lebih hijau dapat diwujudkan dan semakin terwujud dengan setiap aksi nyata yang dilakukan oleh setiap individu.

#IAMNOTPLASTIC
Did you know? Over 8 million tons of plastic waste Did you know?
Over 8 million tons of plastic waste go into our ocean each year, and in the year 2050, there could be more plastic than fish in the sea. We know that plastic bottles can take 450 years to decompose, but no one knows how long plastics will remain in the ocean.

We certainly don't want the picture above to become our reality, right? or have they already become a reality? Yikes!

A river in the Balkans, known for its stunning nat A river in the Balkans, known for its stunning natural beauty, has been transformed into a giant floating rubbish heap amid lousy weather, worsened by long-running mismanagement. 

Tonnes of plastic bottles, rusty barrels, used tires, household appliances, driftwood, and other waste have piled up behind a barrier in the Drina River in Bosnia-Herzegovina, which snakes through forested hills. 

Much of this rubbish was dumped in poorly regulated riverside landfills or directly into the waterways that flow across three countries in the Balkans, accumulating behind the fencing as it flows downstream. 

Cleaning up the waste is not the end of the issue. 

Removing the rubbish takes, on average, up to six months. But it ends up at a local landfill in Visegrad, which Furtula said cannot handle the city’s waste.

The countries have yet to make progress in building effective, environmentally sound waste disposal systems, despite seeking EU membership and adopting some of the bloc’s laws and regulations.

“People need to wake up to problems like this”

The snack on the video was found at Keramas Beach Bali and had an expiration date of March 1997. That was 26 years ago! Wow 🤯

Is this one of your favorite noodle snacks? If so, you are surely a grown-up by now, but it’s a shame that your favorite snack’s plastic waste hasn’t decomposed until now 😭

We hope you realize that plastic takes so long to decompose, even longer than human life.

Until today, the smuggling of green turtles is sti Until today, the smuggling of green turtles is still common in Indonesia. About 43 green turtles near Gilimanuk Harbor were successfully secured by the Indonesian Navy, which were almost smuggled to Bali. 

It is suspected that these turtles will be sold in Bali for consumption. Judging by the video, the condition of the turtle is still alive 🐢

What do you think? Besides the law, what else should be done to reduce the smuggling of endangered species?

Cigarette filters are one of the most littered ite Cigarette filters are one of the most littered items on the planet, as it contains over 7,000 toxic chemicals. About 4.5 trillion cigarette filters or butts pollute our oceans, rivers, city sidewalks, parks, land, and beaches yearly. 🚬🚭

Last year, Spain took action to have smoke-free beaches. Today this year, Spain enforces a new regulation for cigarette companies. Tobacco companies now must be responsible for the cleaning costs of cigarettes and raising public awareness of discarded cigarette butts.
