#BrandAudit2020 Report

Social Media Toolkit
The highly anticipated “BRANDED Volume III: Demanding Corporate Accountability for Plastic Pollution” IS OUT. Congratulations to everyone who participated in this year’s #BrandAudit2020, which included 575 brand audit events from 55 countries across 6 continents! We would also like to thank waste pickers all around the world, especially those who joined us in this year’s global brand audit. This year, we are shedding light on the essential role they play in working towards creating real solutions as opposed to the corporations’ huge role in perpetuating the plastic pollution crisis. Our 2020 report exposes how the plastic industry’s dirty decisions on packaging are impacting waste pickers’ livelihoods. Now’s the time to tell the world who the top corporate polluters are of 2020. Did you know that most of them are on the list for the third year in a row?
Join the global Break Free From Plastic movement as we KEEP THE PRESSURE ON! Use this toolkit to take action on social media using real data gathered from citizens around the world. Together let’s stand with waste workers and demand REAL corporate accountability and REAL solutions!

▪ Single-use plastics pose a major threat to our climate. Research states that over 99% of plastic is made from fossil fuel. Since corporations aren’t taking responsibility for their role in creating the plastic pollution crisis, we’ll keep the pressure on the top corporate plastic polluters until they change their packaging. @cocacola, @PepsiCo, @Nestle, @Unilever, & @mondelez_international, we’re looking at you!

▪ Waste pickers bear the burden of cleaning up after top plastic polluters like @cocacola, @PepsiCo, @Nestle, @Unilever, & @mondelez_international.

All ten of the Top Global Polluters are corporations headquartered in the Global North, leaving the Global South to deal with the wake of the plastic pollution crisis that these brands contribute to.

We stand with waste pickers and demand that corporations be held accountable for the effect that their packaging has on vulnerable communities!
