Short-lived Plastic

Marine plastic pollution has received much attention in recent years, and there has been a good deal of cleanup efforts at beaches and country parks that should be encouraged. However, we all know that if we do not stop the continuous production of plastic waste at the source, cleanups will simply be an end solution of cleaning up after those who are ultimately responsible.

 

We are not asking you to give up; instead, we would like you to join our “brand research” campaign during cleanups in order to motivate producers to take greater responsibility in waste reduction.

 

In the past year, a waste brands campaign has been brewing globally, whereby brands and categories of waste picked up at country parks and beaches are recorded then results announced. The aim is to push producers, especially those ranked the highest in the surveys or multinationals, to do more in waste reduction and recycling.
