ALL THE INFO
The Story
Single-use plastic products are goods that are made to be disposed of following their one-time use. According to the United Nations Environmental Programme, drink bottles, bottle caps, food wrappers, grocery bags, drink lids, straws, and stirrers were among some of the most common items. As a society, we become reliant on these products without even realizing, or being educated on the alternatives. Click here to learn the details behind the image at the top of this page.

While some may argue that some plastic is recyclable, the reality is that more than 90% of plastic is not recycled. Instead, it ends up in landfills. Additionally, of the most common single-use plastic goods, most aren't even recyclable because of the chemicals they contain (Natural Resources Defense Council).

​
It is the objective of Road to Zero to drive corporations and consumers away from single-use plastic products through education and innovation. We believe that if consumers were more eco-aware of the harms of single-use plastic, we are taking another step towards a more sustainable life for all.
