Annual Litter Cleanup
FLiP organizes an annual litter cleanup event in conjunction with a PLASTICS' event, offering attendees the opportunity to contribute to environmental conservation by removing plastic and other waste materials from the local area. Each year, we collaborate with a local environmental organization for this initiative, providing a platform to give back and make a positive impact on both the environment and the communities served by the industry.
Building on the success of the annual litter cleanups, the group recognized the potential for a broader impact by encouraging others to organize similar initiatives in their local communities across the U.S.
To make the planning and execution of these cleanups as easy as possible, FLiP created a comprehensive "Guide to Planning a Litter Cleanup" and challenged member companies to utilize this resource for their own cleanups.
Participating companies are recognized as our Cleanup Champions, whose significant contributions have inspired a continuation of the champions program.
Explore the latest Cleanup Champions Initiative Summary Report to view the collective impact of the 2023 events nationwide.
