Toshiba x CleanHub against plastic waste pollution

Committed to the people. Committed to the future.

At Toshiba, we deeply understand the importance of reducing plastic pollution. The excessive use of plastic has far-reaching consequences:

  • Environmental Damage: Plastic waste accumulates in ecosystems, harming animals, polluting waterways and interfering with natural processes.
  • Threats to Marine Life: Tonnes of plastic end up in the oceans every year, endangering marine life that ingest or become entangled in them.
  • Hazards to Human Health: Microplastics have entered our food, water, and air, causing potential risks to human health.
  • Economical Costs: Plastic pollution affects a range of industries, including fishing, tourism and shipping. It costs the economy billions of dollars.

We believe that supporting initiatives to reduce plastic waste is essential for creating a healthier planet for future generations.
