In 2011, through the American Chemistry Council (ACC), America’s Plastics Makers® helped lead the development of the Declaration of the Global Plastics Associations for Solutions on Marine Litter. Otherwise known as the Global Declaration, this is a global commitment to combat ocean pollution. Since its inception, seventy-five plastics associations in 40 countries have signed the Declaration and more than 355 marine litter projects are planned, underway, or have been completed around the globe.
