The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a global commitment to create a better and sustainable future for everyone.
Although it is seen as a big agenda carried by countries, we as individuals also have an important role in supporting the achievement of the SDGs.
The small steps we take in our daily lives can have a big impact.
Here are four easy ways you can support the implementation of the SDGs while living an eco-friendly lifestyle with BIOPAC.
4 Easy Ways to Support the Implementation of SDGs
- Reduce the use of single-use plastics
Single-use plastics are one of the main causes of pollution that damages the environment, especially marine ecosystems.
According to an infographic from Indonesia Baik, plastic waste itself has a long period of time to decompose, ranging from 10 to 400 years. Not to mention the content of microplastics in it that endangers humans and marine life.
To support the SDGs, especially Goal 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) and Goal 14 (Marine Ecosystems), you can start by reducing the use of single-use plastics.
A practical step that can be taken is to use environmentally friendly products from BIOPAC, such as reusable shopping bags made from seaweed and biodegradable tableware made from bamboo.
By switching to these products, you are not only helping to reduce plastic waste, but also supporting environmental sustainability.
- Choosing Products with Eco-Friendly Packaging
Sustainable packaging is an important step in supporting the principle of zero waste and contributing to environmental sustainability.
As a consumer, choosing a product with environmentally friendly packaging is a small action that can have a big impact.
BIOPAC offers a variety of products with biodegradable packaging that are easy to compost that you can choose to support the SDGs, especially Goal 11 (Sustainable Cities and Settlements) and Goal 13 (Climate Change Management).
By switching to products that use eco-friendly packaging, you are helping to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills and support global efforts to reduce the impact of climate change.
- Supporting Local and Sustainable Products
Supporting local products is not only beneficial to the local economy, but also to the environment.
Products made locally usually have a smaller carbon footprint because they don’t require long journeys to reach consumers.
In addition, sustainable products ensure that resources are used wisely and do not harm the environment.
In BIOPAC’s business processes, we empower communities around the coast and harness seaweed to support Goal 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) and Goal 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production).
By purchasing BIOPAC products, you are not only getting quality products, but also supporting the local economy and environmental sustainability.
- Reduce Food Waste
Food waste is a big problem that is often overlooked. Every year, millions of tons of food are wasted, while millions of people still go hungry.
Food waste not only results in a waste of resources, but also contributes to increased greenhouse gas emissions.
One simple step you can take is to use edible food wrappers from BIOPAC.
These wrappers are not only environmentally friendly, but they are also edible, thus reducing waste and supporting responsible consumption.
By doing this, you are supporting the SDGs, especially Goal 2 (Ending Hunger) and Goal 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production).
The simple steps we take in our daily lives can have a big impact in supporting the achievement of the SDGs.
By reducing the use of single-use plastics, choosing products with eco-friendly packaging, supporting local products, and reducing food waste, we can contribute to a better and more sustainable future.
These steps, when taken collectively, can help care for the Earth so that we can live longer. With BIOPAC, let’s implement the SDGs from now on!
