Plastic Pollution Coalition (project of Earth Island Institute) is a non-profit communications and advocacy organization that collaborates with an expansive global alliance of organizations, businesses, and individuals to create a more just, equitable, regenerative world free of plastic pollution and its toxic impacts.
We envision a world in which:
- Earth’s air, soil, and water are free of plastic pollution in all its forms and across the endless toxic existence of plastic. The food, drinking water, and bodies of all creatures are free of plastic and its chemical compounds.
- BIPOC, rural, and low-income communities are no longer disproportionately harmed by the petrochemical and plastics industries.
- Individuals, NGOs, businesses, and policymakers embody zero-waste values and work collaboratively to eliminate waste from our current socio-economic and political systems.
- Human culture has reestablished a harmonious relationship with nature, where nothing is wasted and all of life and Earth’s resources are valued, protected, and replenished.
- Businesses design goods to be package free or use packaging that is non-toxic and reusable or truly biodegradable and bio-benign.
- Corporations deliver their products using non-toxic refillable and reusable systems.
- Governments enforce regulations and legislation to support a circular economy.
- Fossil fuel industry dependence is diminished, and the global climate is protected.
