Helping Keep Plastics Out of the Environment
Plastic waste in our environment— including in our ocean—is unacceptable
America’s Plastic Makers® are committed to doing our part to help end plastic waste in the environment. And we’re taking action.
Solving this multi-dimensional problem requires a collaborative, global approach, so we are working with scientists, conservation groups, and government agencies across the globe to deliver real, workable solutions.
Together, we can solve this.

We envision a future in which all plastics are recovered and repurposed to benefit people and our planet.
