Global Plastic Treaty<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

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

We need bold, systemic change. That\u2019s why Greenpeace is campaigning for a strong Global Plastics Treaty that tackles plastic pollution at its root: production.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Our Approach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Plastic pollution doesn\u2019t stop at borders, and neither should the solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n\n\n\n

Drive political action<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We engage local and global policymakers through lobbying, roundtable discussions, and direct advocacy, encouraging them to champion a strong Global Plastics Treaty on behalf of our country and region.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n\n\n\n

Expose the system<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Through investigations, research, and storytelling, we expose the companies driving plastic pollution and the false solutions like burning plastic or pretending recycling is enough.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n\n\n\n

Mobilise global pressure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We support people-powered actions across borders, from marching to digital campaigns, especially elevating voices from the Global South and frontline communities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n\n\n\n

Center justice and equity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We work with allies, activists, and affected communities to ensure the treaty doesn\u2019t just serve powerful countries or corporations, but protects people and the planet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Our Projects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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

\n
\n
\"Civil<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Global advocacy & movement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Activists<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Rally against polluters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019s no real solution.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Policy recommendations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We engage with and urge policymakers like Malaysia\u2019s Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability to push for a strong Global Plastics Treaty, backed by clear, actionable recommendations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Creative activism<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Events & activities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Plastic<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Use research to drive change<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019t ignore.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
