Protecting Our Natural Shield: International Ozone Layer Preservation Day

Every September 16, the world commemorates the International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer, a key date to remember the importance of protecting the thin atmospheric barrier that shields us from the sun's ultraviolet rays. Thanks to global efforts, the gradual elimination of harmful substances has led to significant progress in the recovery of the ozone layer. However, there is still work to be done.

The Importance of the Ozone Layer

The ozone layer acts as a protective shield that absorbs most of the harmful ultraviolet radiation, thus avoiding negative impacts on human health and the environment. Without this natural protection, the incidence of diseases such as skin cancer and damage to ecosystems would increase.

Key Actions for Protection

‍

‍

The Montreal Protocol, signed in 1987, has been an example of how international cooperation can bring about real change. However, we can still take individual and collective action to continue protecting the atmosphere:

1. Opt for products free of pollutants: Choose aerosols and refrigerants that do not contain hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) or chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).
2. Reduce energy consumption: Reducing energy use reduces emissions of gases that indirectly affect the ozone layer.
3. Promote responsible consumption and the circular economy: Focus on recyclable and reusable products and biocompostable bags, which help reduce the need for polluting industrial processes.

Our Commitment at Moheda Group

At Moheda Group, we understand the responsibility we have as manufacturers of sustainable products. That is why we work on the creation of biocompostable and recyclable bags, promoting a responsible consumption model that minimizes the environmental footprint. Our production processes are designed to reduce the impact on the atmosphere and contribute to the conservation of the planet, always thinking about the well-being of future generations.
