Individuals making a difference!

Without formal waste management, plastics can be a problem.

Luckily, individuals can make a difference! Ally Hopwood, Sustainability Manager at Pharmapac Ltd and Chair of the Plastics NZ Environment Committee, is demonstrating this firsthand.

Ally is travelling to India this month to volunteer on the ground to support community-driven plastic waste clean-ups through Plastics for Change, an organisation that works directly with waste-pickers and local communities to safely collect, recycle, and reduce waste entering waterways and the ocean.

You can get involved by donating to Ally’s Givealittle page to support this awesome cause. Every dollar raised directly funds these vital clean-up activities in the communities most affected, amplifying the impact of the time and effort Ally is personally contributing.

Ally’s efforts reflect the values of collaboration, environmental stewardship, and global responsibility. Let’s help her reach (and exceed!) her fundraising goal - every contribution makes an impact.
