The Plastic Pollution Coalition (PPC) is a non-profit advocacy organization dedicated to reducing plastic pollution globally. Founded in 2009 by a group of artists, activists, scientists, and leaders, PPC collaborates with a wide alliance of organizations, businesses, and individuals to promote a world free from plastic pollution. It operates under the fiscal sponsorship of the Earth Island Institute and focuses on educating, connecting, and advocating for policies to eliminate plastic waste. PPC prioritizes campaigns against single-use plastics, advocates for producer responsibility, and supports legislation like the Break Free From Plastic Pollution Act. The organization uses celebrity endorsements and internet activism to raise awareness about plastic pollution's impact on the environment, human health, and social justice. PPC also supports initiatives like the UN Global Plastics Treaty negotiations, aiming for a circular economy and reduced plastic production. Its efforts span across six continents, engaging thousands of members worldwide.
