Pensa all'ambiente

Actreen®-Una buona scelta per te e per l'ambiente

La plastica rappresenta una minaccia per l’ambiente e, in particolare, per gli oceani. Gli oceani sono particolarmente colpiti da questo problema: si stima che ogni due secondi, più di 1.000 chilogrammi di plastica finiscono nell'acqua causando ulteriori danni. In tutto il mondo, si cerca di sostituire questo materiale ove possibile. Tuttavia, sebbene sia semplice sostituire un sacchetto di plastica con un sacchetto di carta, risulta difficile sostituire i materiali che costituiscono i dispositivi, come i cateteri, con alternative più ecologiche. Questa è stata la sfida di B. Braun e insieme a noi anche tu puoi fare qualcosa per il futuro del nostro pianeta![1]
