Nilit explains these marine grasslands are vital ecosystems for sequestering CO2 from the atmosphere to reduce global warming and ocean acidification. In addition, ocean grasslands sustain sea life, defend coastlines against erosion and storm surge, and support economies around the world, it adds.
“Nilit’s investment in The Ocean Foundation Blue Resilience Initiative naturally complements and augments our own internal actions to protect ocean ecosystems,” says Sagee Aran, head of global marketing. “Nilit and The Ocean Foundation can affect both sides of the ocean health equation and, together, make a more substantial impact on the well-being of our oceans and our planet.”
Reducing CO2 and protecting oceans are both important factors in Nilit’s multifaceted Total Product Sustainability programme. The company implemented clean energy technologies at its manufacturing plants around the world. At its main facility in Israel, it says CO2 emissions were reduced by 40%.
Nilit has designed the largest portfolio of sustainable premium nylon products under its Sensil consumer brand including innovative products that specifically address reduced greenhouse gas emissions and ecosystem effects.
