Let's Work Together
The Collective is a voice for all those that care about the unnecessary plastic pollution choking our rivers, blighting our lands, filling our seas.
We invite all role-players working towards pristine South African oceans to connect with us in order to apply more pressure on government and affect change within the packaging and retail industries. Our events and campaigns will ensure that we take action from townships to boardrooms to address this urgent issue.

Strategic Partners
