for humans and animals. Micro-plastic occurs not only due to the degradation of plastic waste; much of it is also channeled through our waste water and ends up in lakes and oceans, and even in the air. The miniscule pellets are concealed, for example, in peeling solutions, shower gels, eye shadow or toothpaste. And the waste water from dishwashers and washing machines also contains plastic residues. Researchers have discovered that from one single load of washing more than 1,900 microfiber particles can be rinsed out. Not even wastewater treatment plants can filter out the fine particles. So once microplastic finds its way into rivers or oceans, it can no longer be removed from the environment. A catastrophe for humans and animals. Sea birds mistake plastic waste for food and die in agony, because their stomachs are full of indigestible plastic. Or they strangulate themselves because they use discarded fishing nets made from nylon instead of seaweed to build their nests. Turtles swallow plastic bags in the mistaken belief that they are jellyfish. In all 1,000,000 sea birds and up to 100,000 marine mammals die each year as a result of ocean waste. Fish, mussels and many other ocean inhabitants ingest the tiny particles instead of plankton. The indigestible plastic becomes enriched in their fatty tissue, reaches the food chain by these means, and ultimately also lands on our plates. Relatively little is known as yet about the effects of ingesting micro-plastic particles on the human organism; the coming years will reveal all. However, it is certain that some components of the plastic, such as toxic softeners, phthalates and styrene bonds are damaging to health. Furthermore, due to its surface structure, micro-plastic soaks up environmental toxins such as the pesticide DDT like a sponge. When these chemicals are released from the plastic and reach the human body, severe damage can be caused – from allergies and obesity to infertility and cancer. Since plastic is contained in almost everything these days, it appears to be impossible to avoid it completely. Even after normal grocery shopping, a load of plastic is left over once everything has been unpacked, as retailers seem to have been hit with a packaging illness. But alternatives do exist: In Berlin the new supermarket “Original Unverpackt” (“Original Unpackaged”) has opened, which is the first store to completely reject all nonreturnable packaging. There is also a “plastic-free zone” in Munich: Katrin Schüler provides innovative and high-quality alternatives to plastic near Max-Weber-Platz. Why not call by some time and be inspired... Tips to avoid using plastic • Use cloth bags instead of plastic bags • Buy fresh food instead of prepackaged products • Use recyclable bottles rather than non returnable ones • Favor refill packages • Toys made from wood are healthier and usually last longer • Do not use any cosmetics with microparticles (declared as polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP)) Watch the „It´s a plastic world“ movie: www.itsaplasticworld.com 6
