Numbers Speak For Themselves!
OUR MISSION
Bring systemic change through a holistic approach tackling plastic pollution across the whole plastics value chain, focusing on prevention rather than cure, and providing effective solutions.
OUR PRINCIPLES
-
Sustainable Lifestyles
Our lifestyles and economy fit within the environmental limits of the planet.
-
Responsible Material Lifecycles
The life cycle of the materials and products we use – from extraction and production, to end use, recycling, composting, and disposal – sustain the health of the people and the planet.
-
Waste Workers And Systems
Waste pickers and recycling workers are supported to improve the systems they operate in and can co-lead a just transition to a new and safe materials economy.
-
Reduce And Reuse And Reuse Again
Where plastic products and packages are necessary, they are re-used, repaired, or, failing that, recycled; and toxic substances are eliminated from their production.
-
Organic Waste
Organic waste returns to the soils and zero waste systems reduce reliance on landfills and incinerators.
-
Reduce Waste
Waste is reduced, first and foremost.
-
Community Action & Partnerships
Strong community action and partnerships among citizens, workers, government, sector experts, and supportive business leaders guide decisions about present and future material design, manufacturing, and waste management.
-
Responsible Production
Producers take responsibility for the full life cycle costs and impacts of their products and packaging, and are redesigning and innovating better materials and systems.
-
“Waste To Energy” Isn’t The Solution
No new incinerators are constructed, and renewable energy incentives are eliminated for plastics and waste burning. This includes gasification, pyrolysis, cement kilns, and other burn “waste-to-energy” facilities.
-
Slow Climate Change
The systems we build and materials we use slow climate change, rather than accelerate it.
