Welcome to the Plastic Pollution Coalition project notes

Plastic pollution is one of the greatest challenges to a sustainable future. For the past 60 years, plastics production and use has dramatically increased; the vast majority of plastic generated is not recovered at the end of its useful life. Due to the lightweight character of many disposable plastics, they easily enter the environment by natural forces, such as wind. 

Plastic is a non-renewable material that requires careful lifecycle management so that it does not degrade land, oceans, human health, and sustainable economies.

Tbe greatest source of plastic pollution are disposale plastics, made to be used briefly and then discarded.
