De acuerdo con World Wildlife Fund, (WWF), cada año, ocho millones de toneladas de residuos plásticos son depositadas en los océanos, transformándose en microplásticos que son lo suficientemente pequeños para filtrarse en nuestra comida. Una persona en promedio consume cinco gramos de plástico al año y datos del Programa de las Naciones Unidas para el Medio Ambiente estiman que actualmente se están produciendo 300 millones de toneladas de desechos plásticos cada año lo que equivale el peso total de la población humana, y de continuar con esta tendencia para el año 2050 habrá más plástico que peces en los océanos.
Como solución a este problema, Plate.co nos ofrece su innovación de platos desechables biodegradables que son elaborados con hojas frescas, para servir alimentos para consumo humano, solidos o líquidos y sin importar la su temperatura del alimento.

According to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), every year, eight million tons of plastic waste are deposited in the oceans, becoming microplastics that are small enough to filter into our food. An average person consumes five grams of plastic per year. Data from the United Nations Environment Program estimated that currently, 300 million tons of plastic waste are being produced each year, which is equivalent to the human population's total weight. If this trend continues, by 2050, there will be more plastic than fish in the oceans.
As a solution to this problem, Plate.co offers us its innovative biodegradable disposable plates that are made from fresh leaves to serve food for human consumption, solid or liquid and regardless of the temperature of the food.

À l’heure d’aujourd’hui nous avons tous tendance à nous munir de notre petit Google Maps faisant office de GPS pour nous indiquer le chemin à suivre pour aller d’un point A à un point B. Mais comment faire quand ce cher ami oublie que certains d’entre nous, ne peuvent pas se déplacer librement ? Les personnes à mobilité réduite ont besoin plus que d’un GPS, d’un réel outil leur donnant des informations précises sur les chemins qu’ils peuvent prendre et les trottoirs adaptés à leur mobilité.
Voici le défi que s’est lancé depuis plusieurs années déjà l’entreprise Andyamo dirigée par Marco Petitto, Florian Blanchet et Sébastien Guillon. Si marcher, se déplacer ou encore voyager librement nous paraissent être des choses simples, ces derniers peuvent s’avérer être très compliqués pour certains d’entre nous. En constatant que certains outils numériques excluent des membres de nos sociétés, les trois dirigeants ont décidé de pallier à ces injustices en mettant en place un générateur d’itinéraire inclusif et innovant.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We all tend to carry our little Google Maps as a GPS to tell us how to go from point A to point B. But how do we do it when this dear friend forgets that some of us cannot move freely? People with reduced mobility need more than a GPS; they need a real tool giving them precise information on the paths they can take and the sidewalks adapted to their mobility.
This is the challenge that Andyamo, led by Marco Petitto, Florian Blanchet, and Sébastien Guillon, has been facing for several years. If walking, moving, or traveling freely seems to be simple things to us, these can be very complicated for others. Seeing that some digital tools exclude members of our societies, the three leaders decided to mitigate these injustices by setting up an inclusive and innovative route generator.
