the plastic what?
What do we do?
We run, with bags while picking up trash!
Sounds crazy? Not really. Our vision is to help protect what we love fighting against plastic pollution.
The how happens when you put runners and eco-friendly brains together!
Come and join us plogging! But be careful…it is contagious!
What’s coming…
We not only share our Plogging adventures but others’ initiatives too! If you have an event that you would like us to promote, email hello@theplasticrunner.com
In a bit more than 3 years, we have collected about 1300kgs of litter, engaging with more than 400 volunteers across Australia.
Most of this litter has been found in local trails, parks and riverbanks.
To keep working in our amazing mission, we need your help.
Contact us to volunteer or donate.
Our shop is live!
And with the current Bushfire Crisis we will be donating all proceeds to Wildlife Victoria from our selected products until the end of February 2020
According to the National Plastics Plan 2021 by the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment, currently, Australia produces 2.5 million tonnes of plastic waste each year, equating to 100 kg per person. Only 13% of plastic is recovered, and 84% is sent to landfill.
When I dig into statistics like these, I often feel so hopeless about our future dealing with the challenges of waste plastic management. And I often forget that there are people within our community tackling this issue in the most creative way possible, like Cesar, the founder of Aoracreo.
