Unplastic is an action-driven awareness campaign against plastic pollution. The campaign began with Unplastic Bangladesh 2023 and aims to create a global movement. Green Lead initiated the campaign with Sonali Bioplastics, focusing on bringing behavioral change among global consumers, starting from Bangladesh. The campaign invites individuals and groups to collect plastic trash, and dispose of it properly, or conduct Plastic Pollution 101 sessions in their community. The main objective of this campaign is to raise awareness among participants about the importance of reducing, reusing, and recycling single-use plastic, thereby creating a chain reaction of behavioral change.
