Global Plastic Treaty

Plastic is everywhere, in our food, air, water, and blood. It’s fueling the climate crisis, harming wildlife, and disproportionately impacting vulnerable communities.

We need bold, systemic change. That’s why Greenpeace is campaigning for a strong Global Plastics Treaty that tackles plastic pollution at its root: production.

Our Approach

Plastic pollution doesn’t stop at borders, and neither should the solutions.

A strong Global Plastics Treaty sets global rules that hold the biggest polluters accountable, stop plastic dumping in vulnerable communities, and tackle the problem at its root: by cutting plastic production and focusing on upstream solutions, not just cleanup. Our approach focuses on turning this vision into reality:

Our Projects

We use art installations, creative activism, and policy recommendations to expose the real cost of plastics pollution and demand long-term solutions.

Global advocacy & movement

Through grassroots organizing, coalition-building, and global day-of-action campaigns, we unite allies and people from every corner of the world to demand justice, and show leaders that the world is watching.

Rally against polluters

We expose corporations like Dove fueling the plastic crisis and mobilise public pressure to hold them accountable, online and in the streets. Because without corporate change, there’s no real solution.

Policy recommendations

We engage with and urge policymakers like Malaysia’s Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability to push for a strong Global Plastics Treaty, backed by clear, actionable recommendations.

Creative activism

We use storytelling and art to make the plastic crisis impossible to ignore. From installations made of waste to social media campaigns, our creative campaigns raise public awareness, shift mindsets, and spark conversations.

Events & activities

We mobilize people across the region through cleanup drives, plastic-free campaigns, workshops, and public forums. We create momentum and public pressure for real change.

Use research to drive change

We use scientific reports, policy briefings, and investigative research to expose the truth behind the plastic crisis, and to pressure decision-makers with facts they can’t ignore.
