But how?

Solutions for the plastic crisis

Plastic is everywhere, but there's hope.

Plastic Soup Foundation sees one clear solution

Put an end to the production and use of disposable plastic: Turn off the tap!
Legislation is the way to achieve this.

Why does the Plastic Soup Foundation want a Plastic Treaty?

A global plastic treaty offers the most effective solution because it ensures coordinated, enforceable action at every stage of the plastic lifecycle. By addressing the issue on a global scale, it can create uniform standards, reduce production and pollution at the source, and hold both governments and corporations accountable for their role in the plastic crisis.

What can I do to use less plastic myself?

If you want to use less plastic, you are not alone. That is why we developed the Plastic Diet.

Hoe bereiken we een wereld zonder wegwerpplastic?

We tonen de wereld dat er geschikte alternatieven zijn. We vergroten bewustwording rondom de schade die plastic aanricht.

How the European Commission wants to tackle plastic

The European Commission also wants to combat plastic pollution and introduced the so-called Single Use Plastic directive. By 2030, for example, all packaging material must be reusable or recyclable. That does not mean it will disappear from our food.

Collaboration: the power of our network

By working together with companies, scientists and other organisations, we create a powerful network with which we can exert a great deal of influence.
