About us
The Plastic Pollution Coalition is a global, strategic alliance of individuals, organizations, and businesses working together to end plastic pollution and its toxic impacts on people, animals, and the environment. Plastic pollution is an emerging environmental problem of dramatic proportions. In every stage of its existence, plastic is toxic and creates pollution. It is a material that the Earth cannot digest, and once produced, it stays with us forever. We focus on ending our reliance on single-use and disposable plastics and one bridging like-minded activists and organizations on six continents. The Plastic Pollution Coalition is a project of Earth Island Institute in Berkeley, California, USA.

Plastic production is on the rise, and so is human exposure to plastic particles and chemicals. Studies continue to find microplastics in the human body. But what does that mean for our health? Evidence is mounting that plastics in our bodies are linked to a variety of health problems. Join us as we explore the latest research with leading experts and actionable steps to protect your health. #PlasticPollutes #BreakFreeFromPlastic
🔬 Scientists recently discovered that the human brain contains the equivalent of a plastic spoon’s worth of microplastics. This alarming new research provides more evidence that plastic’s presence inside our bodies is growing, and there’s evidence that it is linked to serious health problems. But what can we do about it? Join us as we discuss the latest research on plastic in our bodies with experts and how you can protect yourself at our next webinar. #PlasticPollutes #BreakFreeFromPlastic

🏵️ In a win for California, Bill AB 473 was pulled on April 10, 2025. A letter led by Plastic Pollution Coalition and signed by more than 150 NGOs and businesses played a key role in emphasizing to policymakers the dangers of passing AB 473, which would have gutted the “Truth in Labeling” law (SB 343). ✅ Now, companies selling products in California must change their labeling to reflect their products’ actual recyclability to be compliant with SB 343. SB 343 “recyclability” determinations have been published by CalRecycle. 🔎 There are currently many false recyclable labels on plastic products that are illegal in California. Additionally, CalRecycle officially banned expanded polystyrene foam food service ware across the state of California on April 5, 2025. 📗 Learn more about these latest updates in our blog: https://bit.ly/4bJx2Ol #PlasticPollutes #BreakFreeFromPlastic #California #Policy #PlasticLaws #Recycling

🌍 Our health is deeply connected to the environment — and today, we're facing an invisible threat: microplastics inside our bodies. 👤 Plastic is everywhere. It is found in our food, water, and even the air we breathe. Microplastics have been linked to inflammation, hormonal disruption, and serious illnesses. This World Health Day, let's demand a strong #PlasticsTreaty that will tackle chemicals that are hazardous for human health and the environment. Visit breakfreefromplastic.org to learn more. #BreakFreeFromPlastic #WorldHealthDay #Microplastics #plastics
