Beyond Plastics, launched in January 2019 from Bennington College, is dedicated to ending plastic pollution. It unites environmental policy experts with grassroots advocates to build an effective movement.

The organization leverages deep policy and advocacy expertise to drive institutional, economic, and societal changes. Their work addresses the severe health, climate, and environmental impacts of plastic production and disposal. Beyond Plastics educates the public, policymakers, and media; encourages businesses to eliminate single-use plastics; trains student leaders; and works to block new plastic manufacturing and burning facilities. This comprehensive approach aims to inspire action from individuals, corporations, and governments.
