Project Plastic Planet. The program focuses on waste management and chemical pollution. Of particular concern is the issue of plastics and the contamination of the food web that results from their use and disposal. The Foundation supports research into the toxicity of plastics, especially to sea life, and practical solutions to replace, reuse, or at least remove plastic from the waste stream.
