Plastic pollution has become a global crisis now. To stop plastic pollution, Break Free from Plastic organizes this brand audit movement throughout the world in search of the top corporate plastic polluters. The motive of this year’s agenda doesn’t only limit itself to finding out the corporates accountable but also marks the beginning of the negotiations for the world’s first Global Plastic Treaty, a legally binding international law aimed at reducing plastic pollution worldwide, covering the full life-cycle of plastic. This is a historic step forward in the fight against plastic pollution, but there is still a long road ahead as the negotiations continue through the end of 2024.
