Destroying ecosystems.

We're on course to have more plastic in our oceans than fish. Plastic trash is found in the guts of more than 90% of the world’s sea birds and in the stomachs of more than half of the world’s sea turtles.

Damaging human health.

The average human being consumes a credit card worth of plastic every week. Plastics often contain harmful chemical additives that are potentially carcinogenic and pose various hormonal health issues, while microplastics are becoming impossible to avoid.

Toxic plastic is a threat to our health.
