Most Americans call microplastics a crisis — but only 49% know what they really are.
That means millions of people are exposed to something they’re deeply concerned about, but don’t fully understand.
MICROPLASTICS ARE INSIDE US ALL:
90% of Americans are concerned.
We partnered with The 5 Gyres Institute to uncover how much Americans really know about microplastics.
Learn what’s at stake, take meaningful action, and discover better solutions.
See the results of the study — and what you can do.
Find out how concerned Americans are about microplastics, what they know (and don’t), and what you can do to reduce your exposure today.
Tell your local representatives: we need action on microplastics.
Laws and regulations haven’t caught up with the growing microplastics crisis. Join us in supporting 5 Gyres’ #MicroplasticFreeUS campaign by urging lawmakers to take action.
