About us
The Plastic Pollution Coalition is a global, strategic alliance of individuals, organizations, and businesses working together to end plastic pollution and its toxic impacts on people, animals, and the environment. Plastic pollution is an emerging environmental problem of dramatic proportions. In every stage of its existence, plastic is toxic and creates pollution. It is a material that the Earth cannot digest, and once produced, it stays with us forever. We focus on ending our reliance on single-use and disposable plastics and one bridging like-minded activists and organizations on six continents. The Plastic Pollution Coalition is a project of Earth Island Institute in Berkeley, California, USA.

16 years ago I teamed up with friends eager to clean up plastic polluting our ocean in the ‘Great Pacific Garbage Patch.’ I’ve learned so much since then from our earnest intentions: Cleanups will never solve the planetary plastic pollution crisis. 15 years ago today, I co-founded Plastic Pollution Coalition with friends and allies, and every day we work to turn off the tap of plastic production. 💙 Thank you for being with us on this journey. 🌊 🌊 🌊 #PlasticPollutes #BreakFreeFromPlastic Read here: https://bit.ly/3BUFWdX

We will be on the ground in Busan working for a strong global plastics treaty. Please support this work of our lifetime to stop plastic pollution. #plasticpollutes Plastic Pollution Coalition
In just 5 weeks, governments from across the world will meet in Busan, Korea for INC-5, the final stage of negotiations for a Global Plastics Treaty. This is a pivotal moment. A legally binding UN treaty that addresses the full plastics life cycle offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity to tackle the root causes of plastic pollution. In the lead up to this historic moment, Dame Ellen MacArthur, Founder of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation , and Christiana Figueres, Costa Rican diplomat and ex-Executive Secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, come together to urge governments to unite in ambition to get the job done. This is a chance to show that the world can meet a global crisis with a global solution. Read Ellen and Christiana’s rousing op-ed in Fortune Magazine: https://lnkd.in/erU3qMWj #INC5 #PlasticsTreaty #EndPlasticPollution

This year’s National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week theme is “Bright Futures Begin Lead Free.” As lead pipes are removed across the U.S., we need to make sure we aren’t trading one poison for another. 💧 We know that single-use plastic bottles leach toxic microplastics and chemicals into our water, and are not the solution to the lead poisoning problem. That’s why Plastic Pollution Coalition supports filters as the equitable, cost-effective, and safe temporary alternative. 🚰 We urge policymakers to provide #FilteredNotBottled water to communities undergoing lead service line replacement. Bright Futures Begin Toxic Free! #NLPPW2024 #PlasticPollutes #BreakFreeFromPlastic
