Stop Single-Use

Reduce the production and consumption of single-use plastics before it overruns our beautiful landscapes.

People living along rivers and coastlines in Southeast Asia and in other communities around the world are among the most impacted by plastic pollution, even though they did not create it. We need to ship the plastic monster back to where it came from — multinational corporations headquartered in Europe and North America. While these companies say they will tackle the problem, most of them actually have plans to increase their overall production of plastic! Meanwhile over 90% of the plastics ever produced have not been recycled. By 2050, it is predicted that there will be 12 billion tonnes of plastic waste in natural environments!

We need you to join us and demand that these companies take concrete actions to reduce their production of single-use plastic!

Break Free From Plastics

Items produced from single-use plastics contaminate our communities, food chain, and ecosystems. We are now faced with an environmental disaster because it chokes our rivers, fills our landfills, and pollutes our communities.

This trend on plastic pollution is a result of our culture of convenience and a throwaway mindset caused by consumerism.

To break free from plastics, individuals have to be mindful their consumption, corporations should adopt business models that reduce plastic production, and governments must enable and facilitate these models.

Understand the Issue

Every year, millions of tonnes of plastic waste enters our oceans, entangling and killing marine creatures like whales and sea turtles that mistake it for food, and breaking apart into harmful microplastics that cannot be cleaned up. Plastic pollution destroys communities and has already entered our food, our water and even our bodies.

Recent cleanups and brand audits in 42 countries found Nestlé to be one of the top brands responsible for the single-use plastic pollution that is devastating our rivers, oceans, waterways and communities around the world.

And despite saying they are taking the crisis seriously, Nestlé, the world’s largest food and beverage company, actually increased its use of plastic packaging by 13% last year.
