A SINGLE GOAL
A Plastic Planet exist to ignite and inspire the world to turn off the plastic tap.
We believe plastic is the gateway to our polycrisis and will be the catalytic accelerator of better living systems and materials that protect our planet and the health of future generations.
As entrepreneurs, A Plastic Planet bring a fresh pro-business, solutions-focused approach to the plastic crisis. highly vocal in the world’s media, we work collaboratively with scientists, innovators, industry, legislators, governments and the United Nations to accelerate the pace of change at all levels.
HOW WE WORK
We focus on the big levers and catalysts of change, always on the right end of the plastic pipe - the tap, rather than the end of the pipe - the waste.
Solutions, solutions, solutions.
We are obsessed by innovation in both materials and systems. Over the last 50 years we have become very lazy in material innovation and now the new bio-economy of nutrient-based, safe materials gives an extraordinary opportunity. The creation of PlasticFree, our global solutions platform, and PlasticFreeLand, the ‘seeing is believing’ physical installation at key events, show how empowering it is to focus not on the problem, but on the solution.
Policy and Legislation
We work with governments and the UN, pushing for tighter legislation to give industry certainty as they plan transformation. We advise on risk, bringing the expert science insights from our science advisory, helping industry recognise the breadth and impact of Extended Producer Responsibility and other upcoming initiatives.
Collaborating With Industry
As entrepreneuers we believe passionately that business can be a tool for good. We work closely with some of the world’s biggest consumer goods companies, bringing them material and systems innovation to help solve some of their most pernicious plastic problems through material and systems reinvention.
Media & Industry Events
As a leading spokesperson in the plastic crisis, we keep the issue in the media spotlight, focusing on the positive changes ahead. In the last 9 years, our work has been covered in over 12,000 worldwide media features, and have delivered keynotes and panels from Davos to British Beauty Council to the UN.
