Policy

Real Solutions

False solutions to plastic pollution derail efforts to curb plastic pollution at the source. To stop plastic pollution, single-use plastic production must stop. Any greenwashing and false claims cannot justify the continued production of unnecessary plastics commonly used as packaging. Real solutions such as reuse-and-refill systems and Zero Waste approaches exist.

Youth

BFFP Youth is a global network of youth leaders representing their generation’s increasing repudiation towards single-use plastic. This project elevates young people to become the leading voices on the issue of plastic pollution through training, coordination, and campaign mobilization.

Plastics and Health

Plastic causes harm to human health throughout its lifecycle - from extraction to incineration. #breakfreefromplastic aims to tell the full story of plastic and its effects on human health. We expose the toxic impacts of plastics to show why the focus should be on real solutions to the plastic pollution crisis.

Petrochemicals and Climate

Over 99% of plastic comes from fossil fuel. The plastic pollution crisis is intertwined with the climate crisis and vice versa. Learn more from the movement’s Plastics and climate campaigns.

Brand Audit

A brand audit is a participatory science initiative that involves counting and documenting the brands found on plastic waste to help identify the corporations responsible for plastic pollution.

Toxic Tours

Toxic Tours is a community-led storytelling and mapping experience on the impacts of plastic production and disposal on frontline communities. The Tours elevate local voices and ensure that community fights are amplified.
