Global Plastic Campaigns
Year 2018 saw a massive campaign against plastic pollution especially with the world ocean day and world environmental day having the same theme of “Beat plastic pollution” Most campaigns on plastic pollution supported by giant FMCG such as Adiddas, HP, focus more on removal from the ocean for recycling with beach clean-up than prevention. Also, the role of research and Environmental organization in this cannot be overemphasized in the name shaming especially to big brands like Cocacola and P&G, although they pushed for more bans so as to plug it at the source. Some of the popular campaigns include #Beatplasticpollution, #Breakfreefromplastics, #Banplasticstraws.
