It's time to put wildlife over waste

So much of our plastic waste comes from single-use containers, foodware, packaging and other plastic products we know we could easily live without. And because it can take hundreds of years to degrade, all of that plastic waste is still out there in some form, polluting our oceans and harming wildlife.

The Plastic Pollution Producer Responsibility Act will greatly reduce the amount of plastic that ends up in our environment by mandating significant reductions in single-use foodware and packaging, requiring that those items actually be recyclable or compostable, and holding producers financially responsible for the plastic they generate.
