Plastic Treaty Now!

From beaches in Southeast Asia to the remote Antarctic, plastic pollution is everywhere. It starts polluting the moment it's created, impacting our oceans, climate and the health of our communities.  Scientists have even found microplastics in the air we breathe and the food we eat. We need a solution that matches the scale of the problem.

A global treaty on plastic is that solution.

A strong global plastic treaty means ensuring a holistic approach to ending the plastic pollution crisis:

• creating a legally binding instrument to ensure compliance from governments and industry;
• keeping oil and gas in the ground, and protecting our climate;
• big brands switching to refill and reuse systems and reducing single use plastic pollution;
• holding countries accountable for managing their own waste and ending waste colonialism; and
• governments working to ensure a just transition for workers and the health of the most affected communities.

Already millions of people like you have come together to reject single use plastic and ask for change. Now Greenpeace and our allies call on governments and world leaders to start negotiating a strong plastic treaty that addresses the whole life cycle of plastic - from the moment oil is extracted to the moment plastic is discarded, there is no time for empty promises.

Help us make this a reality. Ask world leaders to support a global plastic treaty!
