The report highlights four categories of regenerative materials that are promising replacements for conventional fossil fuel–based plastics: agricultural residues and byproducts, hemp and other bast fibers, mycelium, and seaweed. It concludes with a link to a landing page of innovators using these biomass feedstocks to create and scale next-generation materials to replace plastic. 

National planning refers to the full range of processes, frameworks, and collaborative efforts through which countries develop and coordinate responses to plastic pollution. This includes formulating either mandatory or voluntary strategies, roadmaps, action plans, pacts, and any other related instruments, and the institutional, financial, and stakeholder arrangements that support their design and implementation.

This educational initiative equips participants with the knowledge and tools needed to understand, design, and implement effective Deposit and Return Systems (DRS). Through interactive courses led by experts, they will gain a comprehensive understanding of how DRS works and how to develop context-specific solutions for sustainable waste management and circular economy models.

The report exposes the climate footprint of the planned petrochemical buildout in America. It identifies the most climate-damaging projects and products, demonstrates carbon capture’s inability to significantly mitigate emissions, and uncovers how taxpayers are being misled into funding polluting projects sold as ‘climate solutions.’ 

This website explains reuse and reuse systems, shares success stories and provides resources. It also offers a call to action for individuals and organizations.

Plastic clean-ups have proliferated in response to the growing plastic crisis. Such clean-ups may involve large-scale unsupervised methods of plastic collection that do not discriminate between aquatic life, plastic and organic matter. As a result, the rise of these plastic cleanup technologies has raised red flags in civil society and academia.

The Nurdle Hub proposes solutions to plastic pellet pollution and offers a variety of resources and initiatives in order to tackle nurdle pollution.

The Great Nurdle Hunt is Fidra’s flagship project working to end nurdle pollution. We provide the tools and information so that anyone can contribute to, and build evidence of this, issue.
