By GlobalDataThe initiative focuses on educating consumers on the impact of the global plastic pollution crisis and offering actionable content such as informative editorial articles, infographics and interactive quizzes.
‘One Family, One Home, One Future’ project has also pledged to eliminate single-use plastic and advise the public, industry and government on how to choose plastic-free alternatives.
At its annual New York Gala held on 10 September, Oceana noted that 90% of all produced plastic has not been recycled. The company also reminded guests that the global plastic production is expected to quadruple by 2050.
Oceana CEO Andy Sharpless said: “Plastic is everywhere in our ocean, floating on the surface, mixing in the saltwater and sitting on the ocean bottom, miles and miles deep. And it’s no secret that the household consumer goods category contributes to the problem.
“Dropps is showing that companies can address this issue now and reduce throwaway plastic by giving people real plastic-free choices. We face a tsunami of plastic in our future unless more companies also take meaningful action.”
