G20 Summit Target To Tackle Plastic Waste Issue

Group of 20 (G-20) leaders gathered at Osaka, Japan on the 8th of June (Japan time) to attend the G20 Summit. 

Besides the concerning issues regarding the economic, marine plastic waste issues were raised during the meeting. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe urged world leaders to confront climate change as the images of plastic scattered beaches and dead animals with stomachs full of plastic had sparked outrage. 

The Japanese Prime Minister had said he wants his country to lead the world in reducing marine plastic trash, including developing biodegradables and other innovations. – According to Reuters

Remember when the press constantly delivered news about the dead whale that carried 5,9kg or plastic waste in its stomach? Shockingly, the creature’s digestive organ carried 115 plastic cups, 4 plastic bottles, 25 plastic bags, etc…

The news went viral shortly after it was posted, successfully in increasing people’s awareness of ocean plastic issues.

Our upcoming electric toothbrush – OnlyBrush – is not only a smart innovation but also environmentally friendly. Since the materials are eco-friendly, plastic waste is vastly reduced. You can take care of your teeth and the environment at the same time.

Compares to traditional electric toothbrush kits, plastic and e-waste is significantly reduced because OnlyBrush is integrated with refillable toothpaste tube and dental floss case. Many hotels are even starting to phase out the single-use plastic toothbrush. With OnlyBrush, you can be part of the eco-friendly movement to save the earth.

Since one of OnlyBrush’s goals is to replace disposable products that are often used when traveling, the company has also made sure all electronic components are RoHS compliant to make the product as environmentally friendly as possible.

Furthermore, OnlyBrush wireless charging ability means you can utilize the same wireless charger you use with your phone, thus, it’s environmental friendly because you can reduce another charging dock( made of plastic) being dumped when broken.

You can now PRE-ORDER OnlyBrush on Kickstarter!
