Our Mission

Plastic Waste is an issue in the United States because it is extremely cheap to produce. There has been an exponential increase over the last century. Of the 400 million tons of plastic generated in the United States each year, 14 million tons end up in the ocean, harming aquatic life. Another reason why plastic waste is a serious problem is because it takes thousands of years to biodegrade. Plastic can also pollute groundwater or damage and poison soils. Ecoglow is devoted to reducing this plastic waste by using 100% biodegradable or recyclable materials and ingredients in order to slow down the increasing plastic waste. 

One cause of global warming would be the production and transportation of cosmetics all release CO2 into the atmosphere and contribute to the warming of our planet. As our world gets hotter, there is a threat to the biodiversity of our animals, and rising sea levels which threaten coastal communities. Our solution to this would be to use all-natural ingredients in our makeup products which lessen the CO2 from processing cosmetic products. 

As seen in the graph, there has been an increase from 2010, and it is predicted to increase even more in 2030. A problem with rising Mercury levels in oceans would be the bioaccumulation of Mercury and methylmercury found in fish and other aquatic lifeforms. This is a problem because when humans eat fish, the mercury present in them causes severe nervous system damage for humans. A major contributor to mercury would be makeup. This is why our group came up with the solution to create all-natural make-up to combat rising mercury levels. This would slow down the rising mercury levels in oceans as predicted for 2030.
