The Plastic
Scorecard

A movement of conscious brands committed to a world without waste

The Plastic Scorecard is an industry-leading framework guiding companies to reduce plastic waste, verify progress and communicate their impact.

We believe in the power of transparency to create a sustainable future where nature, people and business thrive.

Why take action?

It’s hard to imagine that every year, millions of tons of plastics end up in landfills, oceans, and other natural habitats, causing serious damage to wildlife, marine life, and the environment.

We all have a planetary obligation to rethink our relationship with waste.

We take this obligation very seriously, so we commit to removing 10,000 nature-bound plastic bottles for every new member of the Plastic Scorecard.
