Plastic pollution is a problem we can fix. 

Plastics bring undeniable benefits – from energy savings to material conservation. Yet, the growing crisis of plastic pollution threatens both planetary and human well-being. 

For decades, plastic pollution has infiltrated every corner of the world – contaminating the water we drink, the food we eat, and the air we breathe. Microplastics are now even found in our bodies.

The rewards of fixing plastic pollution are profound: cleaner oceans and lands, healthier people and ecosystems, greater climate resilience, and stronger economies.

Each one of us can reduce, reuse and recycle our use of plastic.

Together, we can make a difference
