Plastic waste has a staggering impact on our environment. Roughly 40% of all produced plastic is for single-use plastic packaging, and 5.25 trillion plastic and microplastic pieces float around in global waters. By 2050, the volume of plastic in the ocean will outweigh fish. Plastic pollution is a global issue that affects everyone, and no organization wants to be the one who’s responsible for sending single-use plastics into our oceans.
