What is the
International
Coastal Cleanup
Day ?
It is the world’s largest, annual, volunteer effort tackling the problem of waste for our seas and waterways. The focus of the International Coastal Cleanup Day in Montenegro is waste reduction, in particular of single use plastics.
As you may already know, plastics are highly detrimental to human health, wildlife, and the natural environment.
As a fossil fuel product, plastic is pollution from the moment the oil or gas is extracted, and it continues to cause pollution throughout its lifecycle.
Plastic exacerbates climate change, emits greenhouse gas emissions. It has even found its way to our bodies: We ingest at least 74,000 microplastic particles a year from the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat.
We can’t recycle our way out of the plastic pollution crisis: Only 9% of all plastic ever discarded since 1950 has actually been recycled.
Our individual choices matter. By choosing to reuse, we’re saving millions of pieces of plastic and sending a message to the rest of the world that the solutions to plastic pollution and the climate crisis are there – and together we can keep our environment, oceans, and communities plastic-free for the future.
Why do we do
a Brand Audit?
Break free from Plastic’s Brand audit is a citizen science initiative that involves counting and documenting the brands found on plastic waste collected at a clean-up to help identify the companies responsible for plastic pollution.
To truly solve the plastic problem, we are calling on the world’s and national top polluting companies to stop producing so much unnecessary single-use plastic in the first place.
To find out who the top polluting companies are, we need your help to record data on plastic waste in your community.
#What we will organize?
What to expect?
1. Giving instructions
You will receive instructions before the start of the cleanup on what should be collected, where to leave the trash bags, and which areas we will focus on for the cleanup.
2. Collection of litter
Each participant volunteer will be lent a pair of reusable garden gloves to collect litter abandoned on river shores and beaches during the event.
3. Separation of collected waste
On all locations, the waste will be separated by type and brand. This will enable preparation of a Waste Audit Report that will be shared with the municipalities, the government and companies/brands.
4. Waste measurement
On each location, the quantity of waste collected will be measured. That will help us quantify litter on those locations.
