Over 150 organizations support the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) statement. Bea Perez from Coca-Cola and Pablo Costa from Unilever explain EPR's vital role in tackling plastic waste.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation is a UK charity promoting a circular economy. This model, driven by design, eliminates waste and pollution, circulates products and materials, and regenerates nature.

Environmental justice advocates, including The Climate Reality Project, emphasize the urgent needs of communities of color. Greenaction for Health and Environmental Justice's "We Can't Breathe"

Environmental justice advocates, including The Climate Reality Project, emphasize the urgent needs of communities of color. Greenaction for Health and Environmental Justice's "We Can't Breathe" campaign addresses severe environmental injustice in San Francisco's Bayview Hunters Point (BVHP), a low-income community. Residents suffer high rates of asthma and cancer due to radioactive and toxic contamination at the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard Superfund site.

BVHP, one of San Francisco's lowest-lying areas, faces extreme vulnerability to rising sea levels, threatening to flood hazardous waste. Despite these risks, luxury homes are being built near, and thousands more planned for, the contaminated Shipyard Superfund Site, amidst allegations of cleanup fraud. A protest will highlight these critical concerns.

In July 2020, The Pew Charitable Trusts and SYSTEMIQ, with partners including the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, released "Breaking the Plastic Wave." This robust study on ocean plastic pollution revealed that without action, plastic volume will double, ocean entry will almost triple, and ocean stocks will quadruple by 2040. This aligns with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's 2016 warning of more plastic than fish in the ocean by 2050.

The study emphasizes that a circular economy for plastic is the sole solution to tackle waste and pollution at its source. This vision already unites over 850 organizations through the New Plastics Economy Global Commitment and Plastics Pact network. Learn more about the study here.

Dame Ellen MacArthur urges "bold and urgent action" to address plastic pollution. A 2020 study, "Breaking the Plastic Wave," by The Pew Charitable Trusts and SYSTEMIQ, reveals a grim forecast: without intervention, by 2040, plastic on the market will double, annual ocean entry will almost triple, and ocean stocks will quadruple. This echoes the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's 2016 warning of more plastic than fish by 2050.

The study confirms a circular economy for plastic is the only way to tackle waste at its source. This vision already unites over 850 organizations. Find out more here.

Artist Alejandro Durán confronts ocean ecosystem destruction through his powerful environmental art. He meticulously collects and reuses plastic waste, from water bottles to prosthetic legs, found washed ashore on Mexico's Caribbean coast.

These diverse materials are transformed into vivid artworks. Durán's creations aim to both mesmerize and shock viewers, effectively spotlighting the pervasive issue of global plastic pollution.

Addressing plastic pollution requires more than solutions like recycling, bioplastics, or compostable straws. These methods do not tackle the fundamental problem.

Addressing plastic pollution requires more than solutions like recycling, bioplastics, or compostable straws. These methods do not tackle the fundamental problem.

The only effective approach is to confront the root cause: halting the production of new plastic. This is the essential step for a lasting solution.
