♻️ Plastic waste isn’t just an environmental issue — it’s a health threat. Microplastics carry toxic chemicals that harm our bodies and ecosystems.
🔬 At ACTPAC, we’re developing biotech solutions for a cleaner, safer future.

Plastic harms human health🦠
Plastics release harmful chemicals into our air, food, and water. Microplastics are even found in human blood. This is causing serious health risks.
♻️ ACTPAC is working on safe, biodegradable alternatives.

🌍 In 2023, 400M tonnes of plastic were produced. Only 9% is recycled.
At ACTPAC, we're transforming PE waste—26% of global plastics—into biodegradable products. ♻️🌱
Join us in making a change!
