Dear Changemaker,

Over our 14-year tenure working on plastic pollution issues, we’ve learned that there is no one silver bullet solution. To truly lead change, we must all work together – you as an individual, us as a research-based organization, along with policymakers, activists, corporations. We all play a role in solving this global problem.

A key, and often overlooked, piece of the puzzle is engaging companies and brands. While there are a lot of corporations that are set in their ways like resin in a single-use plastic bottle (we’re looking at you, top polluters 👀), there are countless other companies that want to do better and are asking the hard questions – how can we minimize our footprint? What is a better alternative to polybags? Do bioplastics truly break down?

As a science-based organization, we see a need for solutions that are vetted, effective, and scalable. In 2023, 5 Gyres will work closely with current and prospective partners to achieve their ESG goals around climate and plastic reduction, serving as an Honest Broker of science along the way.

With our lofty organizational goal of reducing harm from plastic pollution by 20% by 2030, we can’t do this alone. We look forward to supporting more brands and corporations in their journey to phase out harmful and unnecessary plastics, and phase in more sustainable materials and reuse systems. As we like to say, “progress over perfection!”

Thank you for your support of our goals, our mission, and our vision. YOU are a key part of driving change – your habits as a consumer and your support of organizations like ours are crucial to the work that we do. Let’s accelerate our impact in 2023, together!

Onward,
