Let's celebrate #WorldOceansDay 🌊 Since 2019, we have proudly partnered with the NGO OCEANOPLASTIC in our fight against plastic pollution. Each year, over 10 million tonnes of plastic find their way into the oceans. In France, this represents at least 6,000 tonnes of plastic per year, or one tonne per kilometre of coastline: a real ecological, economic and health catastrophe that requires a rapid change in behavior. We support the association each year to collect plastic waste in the French West Indies. Once again this year, it's a success : 9 m³ of waste was collected from 1500m of beach. Thank you to Oceanoplastic & to the 48 volunteers for this fantastic work!💙 #OceanProtection #NuxeSupports

CharityPhilippines.org proudly joins Earth Day today, a globally observed annual event held on April 22nd, aimed at showcasing solidarity for environmental conservation. This year, Earth Day centers on the theme of plastic pollution. According to a report by earthday.org, “Evidence is mounting that plastics, microplastics and their additive chemicals pose potentially serious health risks to humans, with babies and infants being especially vulnerable.” Today’s celebration calls for the 60% reduction of plastic production by 2040. For a deeper understanding of the detrimental effects of plastics to human health, explore https://lnkd.in/e9NBjYcJ. Let this Earth Day remind us all of the importance of taking care of our planet and to preserve its natural resources for the coming generations. Today, let’s pause to reflect on our environmental footprint and pledge to minimize our use of plastic! #CharityPhilippinesOrg #GoodDeedForPinoysInNeed

Did you know that in one festival season, the average municipality creates 25,000 tonnes of waste? Mind Your Plastic believes there is a significant opportunity to cut this number down by working with municipalities to enact reduction strategies at events, which is why we developed the Plastic-Free Events Policy program. Since the program launched in early 2023, we've already been working with Canadian municipalities, like the Town of Ajax and the City of Nanaimo to minimize their plastic pollution footprint at events. Let's celebrate without inviting plastic to the party! To learn more about how you can get involved with plastic-free events, check out the link below. https://lnkd.in/e5kmA_zq #MindYourPlastic #MYP #PlasticFreeLandAndSeas

Former Ambassador of Costa Rica in Kenya and Permanent Representative to UN agencies, UNEP and UN Hábitat.
The current crisis of global plastic pollution requires a complete shift in plastics management, in particular moving towards a circular economy focus and change overall production and consumption patterns. This means a significant change in products design as well as reusing, recycling, refurbishing, as well as addressing the plastics which are currently in circulation and not being recuperated from the environment. We are now negotiating the INC3, in the process of a legally binding agreement to combat plastic pollution, including the marine environment and are hopeful to have a ambitious outcome from this session. #agend2030 #scp #sdg12 #plasticstreaty #circulareconomy
11 million tonnes of plastic waste leaks into the ocean each year. By 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean — unless we take urgent, collective action. The Global Plastic Action Partnership is a multi-stakeholder platform dedicated to translating commitments to reduce plastic pollution and waste into concrete action. GPAP aims to shape a more sustainable and inclusive world through the eradication of #plasticpollution.

A heartfelt "thank you" from all the world's wildlife! 💚 Plastic pollution is a significant threat to biodiversity and ecosystems worldwide. Every year, over 8 million tons of plastic waste enter our oceans, impacting more than 700 marine species. Nearly 90% of seabirds have ingested plastic, highlighting the widespread nature of this issue. The problem extends beyond marine life. Microplastics are now found in our soil, freshwater systems, and even the air, disrupting terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. This pollution affects insects, plants, and animals, threatening the intricate balance of our natural world. At PlasticFri®, we are dedicated to reducing plastic waste through our innovative technology and sustainable alternatives. By making choices to replace plastics in our daily life, we can protect our planet's biodiversity and ensure a healthier, more resilient environment for future generations. Join us in our mission for a plastic-free future 🌍 #plasticFri #plasticpollution #saveourplanet #biodiversity

Without ambitious and coordinated efforts, #plastic leakage into our environment is projected to surge by 1/3 by 2040. This week in #Nairobi, global negotiators convened for the third round of discussions (#INC3) on a global treaty to end plastic pollution, marking the first discussion on the text of the zero draft. As these negotiations conclude at the end of 2024, this milestone moment underscores the precedent of uniting policymakers, private sectors, civil society, and the informal sector for a more inclusive and cohesive treaty. At GPAP, we stand ready to provide guidance, share lessons learned, and exchange experiences on how #evidence-based national roadmaps and #multistakeholder actions can play a pivotal role in achieving the desired outcome of the treaty. Listen to insights from Ulrike Sapiro, Chief Sustainability Officer at Henkel; Douglas McCauley, Professor at UC Santa Barbara; and Joshua Amponsem, founder of Green Africa Youth Organization (GAYO) on why a global plastic treaty is crucial for our environment here:

Chief Sustainability Officer, Henkel | ESG | Strategic lead on Climate, Water, Circularity and Nature, supporting Social Progress
The plastic crisis is getting bigger every year. As responsible industry leaders, we have taken action to reduce plastic use and design for circularity and support collection and recycling. But this is not enough to change the global trend. It's clear that we need a more systemic approach. A global and legally-binding regulatory framework on plastics is needed to make a market transformation happen. The global UN plastic treaty is a huge opportunity to turn off the tap of plastic pollution. I am honored about the opportunity to contribute to this message from the Global Plastic Action Partnership, an initiative of the World Economic Forum, to shape a more sustainable and inclusive world through the creation of a functioning #circulareconomy on plastics.
