The global movement envisioning a future free from plastic pollution.

Across 8 cities and 7 states, nine #BreakFreeFromPlastic Nigerian member organizations embarked on a nationwide plastic brand audit between 2018 to 2024, auditing 298,174 pieces of plastic waste, exposing the dominance of sachets, plastic bottles, and major multinational polluters such as Coca-Cola and PepsiCo in Nigeria’s plastic waste streams.

This report offers a first global snapshot of how supermarkets are either facilitating or hindering efforts to reduce plastic use. Their business practices in store can have a huge impact on how much plastic is used and taken home by their customers. Supermarkets wield significant power when it comes to influencing consumer behavior and they could be using it to facilitate reuse and plastic reduction practices.

Groups and civil society organizations around the world are calling for a Plastics Treaty that reclaims our right to a healthy environment.
