The plastic soup problem can only be solved at the source. Since 2014, I have campaigned with others for a strong reduction of plastic litter, which has delivered several breakthroughs.
We wanted deposits on small plastic bottles and cans - we succeeded. We want products that lead to a lot of plastic pollution to no longer be sold. This has been successful for a number of products.
Together with the Plastic Avengers and their ambassador Frans Timmermans, we are trying to achieve stricter EU measures to combat plastic litter.
2019-2020 | Crackling Balls (Knetterballen) are children's fireworks, intended to be thrown on the ground. However, the plastic casing usually remains in the environment long after the party is over. With 60,000 photos and an impending lawsuit, the sale of crackling balls and other fireworks made with plastic has been almost completely stopped.
The Plastic Soup Surfer believes storytelling is a powerful way to get the message across. The attention is focussed on those that make the decisions like politicians and company CEO's. We are dedicated to change, sustainablity and making impact.
I am not accusing the material, but the way we put it to use. Plastic is a catalyst to our throw-away society.
Help out in our mission!
