Plastic pollution is choking our oceans, harming wildlife, and infiltrating our food chain. A new report from Greenpeace South Asia reveals how the general public views plastic pollution and the pressing need for fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) corporations to reduce their use of single-use plastics. The study, which is based in Colombo, examines at usage trends, public awareness, and the pressing need for accountability and practical action, promoting concrete measures rather than merely declarations, with high support for a ban on single-use plastics and specific demands for corporate responsibility.

The need for urgent action is clear..FMCG companies MUST take responsibility for their environmental impact and adopt sustainable practices now to protect both our planet and public health.
