Help Support CALPIRG in getting Amazon to reduce p

Help Support CALPIRG in getting Amazon to reduce plastic packaging!

Less than 10% of the plastic ever created has been recycled. Most of it becomes permanent pollution.

When CALPIRG’s national research partners investigated how much of Amazon’s packaging gets recycled, the recycling rates were abysmal. Of the packages they tracked, almost none of them were actually recycled ~ even when they were labeled as recyclable and consumers tried to recycle them.

Making recycling more effective with transparent labels and clear instructions is helpful, but with the colossal amount of plastic being created every day, recycling is far from a viable solution to global pollution.

The best way to slow plastic pollution is to stop producing so much wasteful plastic in the first place. That’s why Amazon needs to do its part to stop the pollution problem at the root and cut out unnecessary plastic.

So what happens to all that plastic that doesn’t get recycled? Well, a lot of it is sent to the landfill, leaching chemicals into the soil and groundwater. Another large chunk of it is incinerated, releasing dangerous toxins into the air we breathe.

And, a huge amount of plastic packaging makes its way into our world’s waterways. That pollution doesn’t just harm natural ecosystems and wildlife, it also more quietly threatens our health.

That’s because plastic breaks down in the water, releasing microplastics. These tiny particles can absorb toxic chemicals like mercury and DDT, which are eaten by wildlife and bioaccumulate up the food chain, eventually ending up on our dinner tables.

We may not be able to see microplastics - and the chemicals they contain - in our food, air and water, but the risks they pose are far too serious to ignore.
