Plastic waste and pollution are harming the world's ecosystems and economies. Plastic bags and films fill landscapes and contaminate recycling and composting systems, endangering workers, and increasing costs.

​

Consumers across the U.S. are deceived by instructions to “Return the plastic bag to a participating store for recycling” or

"Store Dropoff" and sent on a wild goose chase with no benefit. Mixed post-consumer plastic film waste is contaminated and worthless.  Few takeback bins exist and there is no proof that collected materials are actually recycled into new products.
