Chittagong city and Potenga Beach are littered with single-use plastic waste. Environment and Social Development Organization – ESDO in association with Green Voice conducted a day-long Brand Audit at Chittagong University and its surroundings and Potenga Beach to reveal the mask of the corporates who are responsible for plastic pollution.

Around 100 participants from Chittagong’s Green Voice organization joined together and conducted the brand audit. The audit was monitored and supervised by ESDO.

Plastic pollution has become a global crisis now. To stop plastic pollution, Break Free from Plastic organizes this brand audit movement throughout the world in search of the top corporate plastic polluters. The motive of this year’s agenda doesn’t only limit to finding out the corporates accountable but also, marks the beginning of the negotiations for the world’s first Global Plastic Treaty, a legally binding international law aimed at reducing plastic pollution worldwide, covering the full life-cycle of plastic. This is a historic step forward in the fight against plastic pollution, but there is still a long road ahead as the negotiations continue throughout the end of 2024.

ESDO organized the Brand Audit for the 5th time in association with Plastic Solutions Fund and Break Free from Plastic.
