International manufacturer Ozeri Corporation is best-known for its conscientious product designs that incorporate environmental sustainability and human health and wellness. The Ozeri Corporation has developed a line of plant-derived, biodegradable dishware, and food containers to combat pollution caused by petroleum-based plastics. Millions of tons of plastic waste enter Earth’s waterways every year. Marine life is especially vulnerable to the increasing volume of non-biodegradable plastic entering the ocean. A recent study conducted by the Australian government found that plastic waste is one of the leading killers of ocean life. Certain types of plastic are more dangerous than others. For example, plastic bags and film are able to sink to depths where many types of sea life feed. Dolphins, fish, whales, and turtles may inadvertently ingest plastic debris, which can fatally block their digestive tracts. Marine animals are also often entangled in plastic bags and packaging. Either way, interacting with plastics results in a slow and painful death for the animals. Since the majority of plastic-related fatalities are never discovered by humans, the death toll in the Australian study is likely underreported.

International manufacturer Ozeri Corporation is best-known for its conscientious
product designs that incorporate environmental sustainability and human health
and wellness. The Ozeri Corporation has developed a line of plant-derived,

petroleum-based plastics.

3. Millions of tons of plastic waste enter Earth’s waterways every year. Marine life is
especially vulnerable to the increasing volume of non-biodegradable plastic entering the
ocean.
A recent study conducted by the Australian government found that plastic waste is one of
the leading killers of ocean life. Certain types of plastic are more dangerous than others.
For example, plastic bags and film are able to sink to depths where many types of sea life
feed. Dolphins, fish, whales, and turtles may inadvertently ingest plastic debris, which can
fatally block their digestive tracts.

interacting with plastics results in a slow and painful death for the animals. Since
the majority of plastic-related fatalities are never discovered by humans, the death
