Activists March at Nestle HQ in the Philippines

A serpent-like plastic monster is accompanied by environmental activists carrying placards as they troop to Nestle’s Philippine headquarters in Makati City, demanding accountability for its role in abetting the country’s plastic pollution crisis . Nestle was named one of the worst plastic polluters after cleanups and brand audits of plastic waste around the world in 2018.

The #Breakfreefromplastic movement delivered a demand letter and “invoice from the Filipino people” outlining the costs of Nestlé’s single-use plastic packaging to human health impacts, environmental pollution, death of wildlife, damage to livelihoods and businesses, greenhouse gas emissions, and waste management challenges.
