July Month without Plastic 2022

July Plastic Free 2002 kicks off, the movement that helps to raise awareness and reduce the consumption of single-use plastic during the month of July. If you don't know it, we'll tell you what it is.

But... What is Plastic Free July?

Plastic Free July is a global movement that raises awareness and helps millions of people around the world to reduce single-use plastic pollution, so we can have cleaner cities, oceans and forests.

Rebecca Prince-Ruiz (the founder of the Plastic Free Foundation) together with a small team from local government in Australia, started what is today one of the most influential environmental campaigns in the world. This movement has inspired more than 100 million participants in 190 countries since its inception in 2011 in Australia.

Making a small change in form collectively helps reduce plastic pollution drastically, and best of all? Many sustainable habits after this month of July will be forever.
