About This Collection

Our mission is to end plastic pollution everywhere. 

Launched in January 2019 and based at Bennington College, Beyond Plastics pairs the wisdom and experience of environmental policy experts with the energy and creativity of grassroots advocates to build a vibrant and effective movement to end plastic pollution. We use our deep policy and advocacy expertise to build a well-informed, effective movement seeking to achieve the institutional, economic, and societal changes needed to save our planet, and ourselves, from the negative health, climate, and environmental impacts of the production, usage, and disposal of plastics.

Plastic pollution is a growing global environmental crisis that disproportionately burdens people of color around the world in a variety of ways. We stand in solidarity with these communities around the world and seek to find respectful and productive ways to lend our assistance in the struggle to end plastic pollution and environmental racism.
