Over 99% of Plastics come from Petroleum.
If we want to solve the plastic crisis, we need to stop the Perpetual Plastic Machine.
The Perpetual Plastic Machine is a mobile 15-foot-tall kinetic art installation laying out the toxic union of fossil fuels and plastic production.
It was created in collaboration with Greenpeace to demand a legally binding treaty that caps and phases down virgin plastic production while supporting a just transition for workers in the plastics sectors.
The Perpetual Plastic Machine was first unveiled in front of the Musee d'Orsay at INC-2, where the details of the Global Plastics Treaty were deliberated.
Serving as a symbol to illustrate the destructive lifecycle of plastics - from extraction to disposal - this installation has so far been featured by over 120 different media outlets, in 32 different countries.
