π New Report Drop: Breaking the Plastic Wave 2025 πA new global assessment from The Pew Charitable Trusts just revealed what our plastic future could look like and why action is urgent.
π¨ If we do nothing:
β’ Plastic waste could reach 280 million metric tons per year by 2040.
β’ Production is expected to surge, overwhelming waste systems.
β’ Pollution, health risks, and climate impacts will intensify.
β¨ But there is a solution:
A system-wide shift β reducing single-use plastics, scaling reuse, redesigning products, improving recycling, and choosing safer materials β could cut plastic pollution by up to 83% by 2040.
This report makes one thing clear:
π± Change is possible. But we have to act now.
At Ocean Grants, weβre committed to supporting organizations and innovators working toward a plastic-free future.
π Together, we can break the wave before it breaks us.
