In time for Global Recycling Day, #breakfeefromplastic’s Global Coordinator Von Hernandez and Sustainable Asia’s Director Marcy Trent Long unpack the myth of recycling in an opinion piece published in South China Morning Post: 
 

 “It is clear that recycling alone will not be enough to solve the plastic pollution crisis. The real solution lies further upstream: reducing the amount of plastics being produced. This would be good for climate change as the feedstock for plastic is fossil fuel. And it might compel consumer goods companies to reduce their plastic footprint and invest in alternative reuse or refill systems to deliver their products to the consumer.”
