We promise that we\u2019re not only looking at <em>what<\/em> products we offer, but <em>how<\/em> they\u2019re made, where the materials come from, and what impact they have. One initiative we\u2019re proud to support is <strong>Prevented Ocean Plastic<\/strong> (PoP) \u2013 and here\u2019s why it matters.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>So\u2026 what is Prevented Ocean Plastic?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Its recycled plastic made from discarded PET bottles, collected within 50km of coastlines or major waterways at risk of feeding plastic into the ocean. Most of this work is done in areas where waste management systems are limited or overwhelmed \u2013 helping communities, cleaning up the environment, and reducing harm to marine life.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Why is this such a big deal?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Every year, over <strong>12 million tonnes<\/strong> of plastic enter the ocean. Once it&#8217;s in, it&#8217;s tough to get out \u2013 salt water and sun degrade it quickly, making it almost useless for recycling. So instead of waiting for a clean-up, PoP steps in early \u2013 stopping plastic <em>before<\/em> it hits the water.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How can you tell if it\u2019s PoP?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Look for the bold triangular blue logo on-pack. It\u2019s fully traceable, meets strict safety standards, and is backed by global brands. Basically, it\u2019s the real deal.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Is it working?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Yes! Since launching in 2022, the initiative has prevented over <strong>1,000 tonnes of plastic pollution<\/strong> every month \u2013 and that number is rising.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Why choose products made with PoP?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Because prevention beats cure. Supporting PoP means supporting real change, helping tackle plastic pollution at its source, and showing that sustainable choices can still be smart for business.<\/p>\n<p>At Boosters, we\u2019re all in on doing better \u00a0&#8211; <strong>That\u2019s the Boosters Promise, <\/strong>and we want to share the stories behind the products we offer. If you&#8217;d like to explore promotional items made from PoP, just drop us a message.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s help protect what matters, one product at a time.<\/p>\n<p>#Sustainability #PreventedOceanPlastic #PromotionalMerchandise #WeveGotYou #EcoChoices<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Not All Plastic Is The Same | Director&#039;s Cut | Prevented Ocean Plastic\u2122\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hNYvor4h6VA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 Preventing a Potential Disaster: Why We\u2019re Backing Prevented Ocean Plastic (PoP) Sustainability isn\u2019t just a trend at Boosters \u2013 it\u2019s our commitment.
