Problem One
There are 16,019,840 valid credit cards and around 27.5 million debit cards in Colombia. These cards are made of PVC plastic obtained from petroleum and often end up disposed on rivers, lakes, oceans and sanitary landfills.
(finances for mortals, 2019).
Problem Two
Every year 6.4 million tons of waste end up in the sea. Between 60% and 80% are plastic, with peaks of up to 95% in some areas, according to the Italian environmental association Legambiente.
(Retorna.org, 2011).

Our intention is to never engage in "greenwashing," a practice that society itself is bringing to light since the green wave has only developed false and advantageous notions about sustainability, like the European ESG Bond crisis of 2020.
We aim to make a difference on a national and worldwide level by helping Colombia achieve the sustainable development goals (SDG's) for 2030, of which we concentrate on more than 6, with the help of businesses who share our purpose of cleaning up the oceans, and our environment, thus helping the world.
