Magno EU Project

??? The #packaging of the food we order or buy is damaging our #oceans ??, #landfills ??, and #ecosystems ??. But what is the #EuropeanUnion doing about it? ?? It’s clear that #FoodPackaging is essential for preserving products, but its #environmental cost is far too high. In the #EU alone, 40% of all #plastic used comes from packaging, contributing to the millions of tons of #waste generated each year ????? But that’s not even the worst part. The real issue is that most of it ends up in landfills and oceans, destroying #biodiversity and worsening #pollution ?? ? ?? Nowadays, single-use plastics still dominate, and waste management remains inefficient, making truly #sustainable choices harder for consumers (especially when these choices are often limited by income and convenience ????) ? ?? So, the EU is taking action. But is it enough? ? Read our full article to find out the answer ???? https://lnkd.in/eEqwhsgU

Today, on #WorldObesityDay2025, we shine a spotlight on #obesity, a global #HealthCrisis affecting millions. Obesity is not just about appearance – it’s a major risk factor for non-communicable diseases (#NCDs) like #diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, leading to serious health consequences ???? The rise of obesity is deeply connected to our #UrbanEnvironments. Factors like limited access to #greenspaces, poor #walkability, and inadequate #transportation infrastructure can influence our daily behaviors and contribute to #unhealthy lifestyles ?????♀? At HORUS - Urban Health, we believe that healthier #cities are key to fighting obesity. By redesigning #UrbanSpaces, we can empower communities to make healthier choices and reduce their risk of obesity and NCDs ???? Want to dive deeper into how HORUS - Urban Health is addressing this challenge? Read the full article here: ??

?? #Biodegradable vs. #Compostable: Do You Know the Difference? ?? The need for #sustainable #packaging is growing, and as #consumers, we’re becoming more aware of the importance of reducing #PlasticWaste and making more conscious purchases. Businesses know this too. ??? That’s why we often see products labeled as biodegradable or compostable and might assume that’s enough to save the #planet ?? ?? But… what do these terms really mean? Are they the same? Does biodegradable mean I can just throw the packaging on the ground and it will be okay? How does each type break down? ?? At Magno EU Project, we continue our consumer #awareness campaign to help people make more informed decisions ?? ?? If you want to keep learning about this topic, read the full article!
