The UK throws away almost 1.7bn pieces of plastic every week. It’s leaking into our oceans, polluting our air, devastating our climate and human health.

We can’t recycle our way out of this crisis. We need to cut plastic production instead.

This year we have a huge opportunity. 175 countries are coming together to agree a Global Plastics Treaty which could set a global target that requires all states to cut plastic production.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to tackle the plastic waste crisis. A world with less plastic means cleaner beaches, rivers, streets, and air.

We need countries like the UK to stand up and show leadership. That’s why we’re calling on MPs to sign our pledge for a genuinely transformative treaty.

Ask your MP to sign the pledge for a strong Global Plastics Treaty.
