We founded A Plastic Planet to ignite and inspire the world to turn off the plastic tap. We want to dramatically REDUCE the use of indestructible plastic that is destroying our oceans, our soils, our air and the health of future generations.

We focus on the use of conventional plastic; especially that used in packaging and single-use. Recent history has proven that recycling this kind of plastic is not the answer. It has little value, is mostly down-cycled, too difficult to reclaim and often contaminated. It’s fundamentally the wrong use of plastic in the first place. But right now, the public have no choice but to buy everything packaged in this indestructible material.


When you can buy gluten-free, fat-free, dairy-free; why can we not buy plastic-free?

WE ARE ALL PLASTIC ADDICTS.

OUR SIMPLE GOAL IS TO IGNITE AND INSPIRE THE WORLD TO TURN OFF THE PLASTIC TAP.

Keynote Speaker at Plastic Free World Conference and Expo

"We urgently need to accelerate the pace of change and that is only going to happen if viable, scalable alternatives are available. 2019 is the year we will finally acknowledge we cannot recycle our way out of the plastic problem and start to embrace brand-new models of making, consuming and disposing of everything we need"

Siån Sutherland, Co-Founder of A Plastic Planet
