E P I C | Plastic Pollution Emergency Response™
How many tons of plastics are in the ocean and how did it all get there? Why is ocean plastic a global problem? What are some facts about plastic pollution in our oceans and on our shorelines? Are we eating Microplastics? How should we deal with the recovered plastic from beach cleanups?
Our EPIC: Plastic Pollution Emergency Response™ program consists of a 4-pillar approach to dealing with ocean plastics: Education, Policy, Infrastructure and Cleanup. Learn more about how you can get involved and help us transform, cleanup and prevent ocean plastic problems in the first place.
We are a Canadian based, internationally recognized NON-PROFIT organization that has developed a world leading PLASTIC POLLUTION EMERGENCY RESPONSE™ program called EPIC. This dynamic and INTEGRATIVE approach to ocean plastics recovery and transformation combines 4 main components; EDUCATION, POLICY, INFRASTRUCTURE and CLEANUP.
Our goal is to give the plastic waste we recover from oceans and beach cleanups around the world an ECONOMIC VALUE, stimulating the PLASTIC CIRCULAR ECONOMY while providing communities the long-term TOOLS they need to STEWARD THEIR ENVIRONMENT keeping MORE PLASTIC OUT OF THE OCEANS in the first place.
