THE LITTLE MONSTERS
LES PETITS MONSTRES™
There are about 50 main types of plastic.
To recognize them, humans created a seven standard classifications for plastics:
7 numbers to identify the type of plastic used for every product of our current modern days.
Here are the 7 families of plastic little monsters to recognize each of them.
They made us believe that they are our friends. But they are not! But for all the benefits plastic has given us, disposing of products — particularly those designed to be used only once, such as packaging — has become a major environmental issue for our planet.
​
Their goals: conquer the world to create a plastic planet.
​
Each little monster multiplies by thousands, by millions, by billions...every minute.
We need to stop them because they are all eternal and they are killing us slowly.
Once thrown away and leave in our environment, many little monster gets broken down into minuscule bits called microplastics. They become the Microplastic Monsters.

​
When I am immersed in boiling water, I become very small.
My name is Miss PE-HD 2.
You think that I am one of the safest forms of plastic. I am very hard-wearing and do not break down under exposure to sunlight or extremes of heating or freezing.
​
You meet me every morning during your breakfast in the milk bottle, and in all the bottles of opaque plastic juice.
Then, you meet me again in your bathroom because I am in all the shower gels plastic bottles and in the cosmetics of your mum.

THE SOLUTION
My name is Greenbio.
​
I am the alternative to plastic. Made from plants such as seaweed, straw, woodchips, food waste potatoes peel, etc..
​
I am biodegradable and compostable. I am not eternal. I take three to six months to decompose fully in compost and I do not create microplastics.
Once decomposed, I give back to the earth the elements that the plants need.
I am scary because plastic is everywhere. And this is dangerous for our planet, for animals and humans.
Today, my family can replace the 7 other families of little monsters, unfortunately many humans don't know it yet and continue to use plastic products.
I love our planet and I respect environment.
I need your help to encourage industries to use me more, to develop my abilities, to imagine how I could disintegrate everywhere, with sun, in sea, in land and not only in a compost at a certain degree of humidity.
With your help, we can change the future and we can win the war against plastic!
