The Italian multinational Antares Vision is starting a #PlasticFree revolution with the launch of the „Join the Green Side“. It there are no more vending machines selling water bottles and hot drinks in plastic cups.
A small but significant achievement to minimise the effects of Reducing the impact of plastic on the environment. This is the aim of the „Join the Green Side“ campaign by Antares Vision, the multinational company based in Travagliato near Brescia and the world's leading provider of visual inspection systems, tracking solutions and smart data management.
A recent environmental study by the World Economic Forum in collaboration with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation (The New Plastics Economy: Rethinking the future of plastics) found that by 2050 there will be more plastics in the oceans than fish. Therefore, every small contribution by individuals and companies is vital for the environment. In particular, the campaign „Join the Green Side“ of Antares Vision, part of the global Campaign #PlasticFree and the #IoSonoAmbiente project sponsored by the Ministry of the Environment, was launched more than a year before Italy introduced a ban on all single-use plastic products such as cutlery, plates, straws and stirrers.
The first step is to replace disposable plastic water bottles in favour of Stainless steel water bottles that are filled with new water dispensers. In this way, the company wants to avoid consuming more than 3,000 bottles of water per month. In addition, around 2,500 take-away lunches are delivered to the company each month, which are no longer supplied with plastic water bottles. Hot drinks machines are equipped exclusively with paper cups, and Antares Vision employees can use their own personal cups or environmentally friendly drinks containers.
This phase of the campaign „Join the Green Side“ is currently being promoted from Antares Vision's headquarters in Travagliato, but is to be extended to other branches in Germany and abroad with more than 500 employees.
