A truckload of plastic enters our oceans EVERY SINGLE MINUTE.
Plastic is incredibly versatile and long-lasting. But the very qualities that make plastic so useful also make it a huge problem. Cheap and disposable, plastic has become a symbol of our throwaway culture. As a result, vast quantities pollute our world and much of it flows into the oceans, turning them into a plastic soup. UK supermarkets produce 800,000 tonnes every year and with production increasing, that’s set to rise.
If we act together - we can hold governments and corporations to account and stop our oceans becoming dumping grounds for plastic.
We need a strong Global Plastics Treaty to END THE AGE OF PLASTIC.
