Advocating for Greener Policies

We must do more to decrease our reliance on single-use plastics and increase the use of non-virgin plastics. Through our advocacy and lobbying activities, we will work with policy makers, consumers and companies to insist that we transition towards recycled plastic and other alternatives to new plastic production.
