If countries can secure a strong treaty that caps plastic production and directs a clear pathway to a reuse-based society, the world has a real chance to solve the plastic pollution crisis. This is our once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to address plastic pollution at the source and bring about long lasting systemic solutions that put people and the planet first.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is the role of the business sector in all of this?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether we like it or not, businesses are at the forefront of plastic pollution \u2013 not only as the main producers and users of single-use plastic, but also as innovators and adopters of alternatives and solutions. Many companies already know that ditching plastics isn\u2019t just good for the environment, it\u2019s good for business, too! In fact, research has found that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.no-burn.org\/zerowastejobs\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">zero waste approaches create over 200 times more jobs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> than disposal-based systems that primarily burn or bury waste.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is no better time for forward-thinking businesses around the world to send a strong message to their national governments that they support the creation of a truly ambitious, legally binding Global Plastics Treaty that seeks to reduce plastic production and end pollution across the full lifecycle of plastics. Science tells us this is essential if we are to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ciel.org\/plasticandclimate\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius and protect biodiversity<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_94203\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 699px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-94203 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-usa-stateless\/2024\/11\/cb68f177-gp0su0awf_low-res-with-credit-line-800px.jpg\" alt=\"Members of the Greenpeace delegation display banner messaging at the fourth session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC-4) meetings in Ottawa, Canada.\" width=\"689\" height=\"600\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-94203\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-94203\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Members of the Greenpeace delegation display banner messaging at the fourth session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC-4) meetings in Ottawa, Canada.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As part of a global campaign to end the plastic crisis, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Greenpeace International<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has joined forces with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.breakfreefromplastic.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Break Free From Plastic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.plasticpollutioncoalition.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plastic Pollution Coalition<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to launch <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/championsofchange.breakfreefromplastic.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Champions of Change<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This global initiative is a platform for companies to leverage their influence with one common demand for the world\u2019s governments to negotiate an ambitious Global Plastic Treaty that will drastically cut plastic production for good. By bringing together reuse and refill shops, low-plastic and plastic-free brands, and companies actively working to operate without contributing to the plastic crisis, the aim is to demonstrate that ending the age of plastic doesn\u2019t conflict with a healthy business landscape.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So wait, what about the bath bombs? <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lush.com\/us\/en_us\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lush Cosmetics<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, proud inventor of the beloved bath bomb, was one of the first companies to sign the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/championsofchange.breakfreefromplastic.org\/open-letter\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">open letter<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and become a Champion of Change! In case you haven\u2019t heard, Lush is well known for being a global leader in naked personal care products \u2013 products like solid shampoo, soap, and lotion bars sold without packaging. In fact, about half of their products can be taken home with no packaging. Lush notes that it has managed to divert nearly 6 million plastic bottles globally from landfill by selling shampoo bars alone. Now that\u2019s something worth celebrating with a lush-ious bath bomb filled bubble bath!<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_94204\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 1034px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-94204 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-usa-stateless\/2024\/11\/78cb6f19-unnamed-1.jpg\" alt=\"Plastic-free solid shampoo.

In a demonstration of this commitment, Lush is going big on October 4 with a Day of Action in support of an ambitious Global Plastics Treaty in all 260+ of their stores across the US and Canada! On this day, Lush stores will undergo a makeover as their window screens highlight the Global Plastics Treaty and staff will invite shoppers to take action by contacting their heads of state. Come in to buy soap, leave a plastic pollution advocate \u2013 we love to see it! And with Lush being just one of almost 250 Champions of Change from around the world, can you imagine the impact we could make together if more companies got onboard and organized similar initiatives?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_94207\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 1034px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-94207 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-usa-stateless\/2024\/11\/ee06b689-unnamed.jpg\" alt=\"All of Lush's stores across the U.S. and Canada will feature this signage on Oct 4, 2024.

The world is moving forward and more and more businesses like Lush and other Champions of Change are stepping up by using their power to amplify the demands of the people.
