We eat, drink and breathe toxic plastics. This has to stop. We want to turn off the plastic tap. Tackle plastic pollution at the source. We are building awareness and calls to action. We encourage new legislation and encourage investments on new materials
Bad news for the environment!
The Dutch Parliament wants to scrap the fee on disposable cups and containers. A step backward in the fight against plastic pollution. What do you think? 🤔 #SingleUsePlastic #PlasticFree

BPA, a prolific chemical in everyday plastic items, will no longer be allowed in plastic that comes into contact with food and drink EU decides. After a 18-month phase out period, hopefully, our exposure to toxic BPAs will be limited and not replaced by another chemical equally or more toxic #BPAban

Looking back on the last year, we are so proud of the succes of our **One Planetary Health Symposium** in Artis last november. Stay tuned for the 2025 date!
We have put together a short recap of this wonderful event. Please have a look at the aftermovie: youtu.be/Lq4olkkATZg
Though the road ahead is long, we will continue to advocate, along with experts like Prof. Thais Mauad, to protect our health, nature, and future generations. 💪🌱

Unfortunately the INC5 negotiations in Busan, South Korea last week have not resulted in an ambitious Global Plastic Treaty (yet). We still have hope!

🌍 A Successful One Planetary Health Symposium at ARTIS! 🌱
In collaboration with ARTIS, Plastic Soup Foundation hosted the One Planetary Health Symposium. It brought together leading scientists to present their research on the dangers of microplastics to our health, ecosystems, and planet.🌏
The very elegant Koningszaal, still empty before the event
The list of companies involved in the event
Today I had the honor of speaking about human health effects of #microplastics in one of the oldest zoos in the world: Artis in Amsterdam. Many companies present to learn how they can help solve the world’s plastic problem. Including many young people, inspiring to see the next generation caring!
