Sachet packaging is NOT pro-poor!
Fact: Sachets or small packets and any other single-use plastics packaging, contribute to pollution in every stage of its lifecycle. Last week, GAIA Asia Pacific and Break Free From Plastic Asia Pacific released a report focusing on the Philippines’ sachet economy and how corporations have exploited its so-called pro-poor narrative.
#breakfreefromplastic changemaker, from GAIA Asia Pacific, Sherma Benosa said, “Let’s stop buying the big business’ pro-poor narrative. It is not that we are poor and that we buy tingi style that plastic sachets came to be; it is that companies were focused solely on profit.”

#breakfreefromplastic members are joining Plastic Pollution Coalition to demand Amazon STOP polluting our planet with pointless plastic packaging!

All EU countries MUST transpose the Single-Use Plastics Directive into law!
An assessment from #breakfreefromplastic and Rethink Plastic reveals that very few EU countries are on track for timely and ambitious transposition of the EU Directive on single-use plastic. This Directive requires that EU Member States adopt a number of measures to reduce the items most commonly found in the environment and in our communities. We urge EU countries to take rapid and comprehensive action to end pollution from single-use plastic!
