What do cosmetic products have to do with marine pollution?

June 8, 2021 was World Oceans Day. The goal of the day? To raise awareness worldwide of current challenges related to the oceans. After all, our seas are the largest habitat on earth. As a German company, it is important for us to keep an eye on our German seas and inland waters. To this end, we support the non-profit organization Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC) with a marine conservation sponsorship. The organization is committed to protecting whales and dolphins. The animals have an immense influence on the marine ecosystem: they fertilize the oceans, store carbon dioxide and mix the ocean layers. With their mere existence, they are helping to combat climate change. In podcast episode #67, social media manager Marie talks on the phone with Fabian Ritter, marine biologist at WDC. He heads the marine conservation department and talks in the podcast about, among other things, why World Oceans Day exists, how polluted German waters are and what the cosmetics industry has to do with it.
