Protecting Oceans Through Sustainable Practices

Marine life is critically endangered by the plastic waste flooding our oceans, and at APR Bharat, we are dedicated to minimizing plastic pollution through robust PET recycling systems that prevent plastics from entering our waterways. By reducing the flow of waste into the ocean, we are working to safeguard marine ecosystems for future generations.

The Impact of Plastics on Marine Life

Every year, millions of tons of plastic waste end up in oceans, with devastating effects on marine creatures. Plastic debris can be mistaken for food, entangling or being ingested by fish, seabirds, turtles, and marine mammals. Over time, this not only harms marine species but also disrupts entire ecosystems.

How PET Recycling Helps Protect Marine Life

By preventing PET plastics from becoming waste in the environment, APR Bharat actively contributes to protecting marine ecosystems. Recycling helps ensure that PET bottles and packaging don’t find their way into the ocean, where they would harm marine species and their habitats.

Why choose us?

The Consequences for Marine Life

Ingestion and Starvation

Marine animals often mistake small plastic particles for food, leading to blockages in their digestive systems and, ultimately, starvation.

Entanglement

Larger pieces of plastic, such as fishing nets or bags, can entangle marine creatures, preventing them from swimming, feeding, or even breathing. 

Habitat Destruction

Plastic debris accumulates in marine environments, degrading important habitats like coral reefs and mangroves
