Our website for kids

Our website, especially for children, is full of information about plastics, tests and videos, as well as a world map with stories from children around the world.

Children can also submit their own videos to be included on the map. We hope this will become a place where children can share their stories about plastic pollution and be inspired to take action.

Order the childrensbook; This was the plastic age

How do we explain to our children that we have a very big, bubble-wrapped plastic problem? In This Was the Plastic Age, children learn all about the plastic problem and which young heroes rose up to tackle it. The new children's book takes children into the distant future, where the plastic problem is long gone.
