Another milestone in Guatemala: we have now removed over one thousand truckloads of trash from the Rio Las Vacas. 🇬🇹

This is our toughest river challenge so far, but we’re continually working to improve Interceptor 006 and keep tons of plastic from entering the Caribbean Sea.

The right decision and key first step to tackle the growing waste and #plasticpollution.

Mandatory standards for recycled content and targets are essential to create the economic rationale for new recycling and reprocessing plants

What in the actual global waste crisis is this tripe @Channel7?

A show glorifying BALLOONS, one of the most dangerous, pointless #singleuseplastic.

“More and more stockpiles are being found … they’re in dreadful trouble,” @BoomAlliance’s Jeff Angel told The Saturday Paper. 

Mike Seccombe reports on the dramatic rise and fall of soft plastic recycling service REDCycle. https://t.co/BLg7CLK02P

[Boomerang Alliance @BoomAlliance]

It's with great sadness we report Ruth Hessey has passed away.

Ruth was Communications Director of Total Environment Centre from 2009 - 2019 and worked closely with the Boomerang Alliance.

Her energy, commitment, creativity and friendship were much valued by all of us.

This Diver rescues a fish trapped in plastic.

Countless marine animals get trapped in plastic waste we discard. Even the smallest plastic packaging is deadly underwater.

It's time to end plastic pollution.
