On World Environment Day 2025, the Green Section Explores the Core Theme of the UNEP Campaign: The Fight Against Plastic Pollution

A global issue that demands local, tangible, and cross-sector solutions. Through our content, we explore how collective action—from everyday choices to business models—can contribute to real and lasting change.

The countdown has begun: on June 5, World Environment Day will offer a crucial opportunity to reflect on a threat that concerns us all—plastic pollution. According to UNEP, plastic production has increased twentyfold in recent decades and could triple by 2060 without structural interventions.

The 2025 theme is directly linked to urban quality of life, as cities are both major victims and contributors to plastic pollution—from street litter to microplastics in waterways.

Cleaner Cities, More Aware Communities

Cities, the center of our daily lives, are also among the areas most affected by uncontrolled plastic waste. Just think of bags floating in canals, packaging left in parks, and microplastics found in fine particulate matter. Building healthier cities requires smart urban policies and investment in green infrastructure.

Renovation Over New Construction

In the real estate sector, every reuse and renovation project is a concrete alternative to new development. Online real estate auctions—like those on Gobidreal.it—embrace this approach: reclaiming an abandoned apartment or industrial building means reducing waste and promoting a more sustainable model of urban growth.

The Role of Urban Regeneration

Projects such as property renovations and the recovery of abandoned buildings can help reduce the use of plastic-based construction materials (e.g., insulation, piping, thermal coatings) and contribute to environmental sustainability. Through online real estate auctions, Gobidreal.it supports a responsible approach to property ownership, focusing on reusing existing building assets.
