National Strategy to Prevent Plastic Pollution
The goal of the National Strategy to Prevent Plastic Pollution is to motivate actions that a wide range of U.S. entities can take to prevent plastic pollution and eliminate the release of plastic waste from land- and sea-based sources into the environment by 2040.

The Social Cost of Plastic to the United States
A review of 1191 data points of plastic impacts to the marine environment, including ingestion, entanglement, and colonization of plastic, concluded that marine plastic induces a staggering 1% to 5% loss of marine ecosystem services (Beaumont et al. 2019).

PLASTIC POLLUTION - IUCN
A focus on the connections between plastic pollution, biodiversity loss, and the degradation of ecosystems at the global, regional, and national levels is important for effective action.

United States - Ocean Conservancy
We assessed laws promoting plastic source reduction—reducing the total amount of plastic produced—and the adoption or investment in reuse and refill systems, which can contribute to plastic source reduction.

PLASTICS, HEALTH, AND ONE PLANET
Plastic pollution is not only an environmental issue—it is a growing global health crisis. Plastics are leaking into and harming water and land-based ecosystems.

SDG Explainers-Plastic Pollution - الأمم المتحدة
The Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee convened to establish an international legally binding instrument focused on plastic pollution, particularly in marine environments.

Blueprint for Credible Action on Plastic Pollution 2024
Plastic waste is choking our planet—polluting the air, water, and soil that all people and wildlife need to survive. Every year, more than 11 million metric tons of plastic flow into our natural environment, entering our oceans at the rate of one dump truck of plastic pollution every minute.
