The campaign Plastic Free Ensenada (Ensenada Libre de Plásticos in Spanish) aims to promote and support strategies that reduce the problem of single-use plastic pollution in the city of Ensenada, Baja California.
The actions of this campaign are the result of the active participation between civil society and government organizations.
PLASTIC FREE FAIR
To date, there have been three events of the Plastic Free Fair in the facilities of the city council of Ensenada, and 14 companies have participated (producers or suppliers) to promote alternatives to single-use plastics.
The goal of these fairs is to promote the use of reusable, compostable and low environmental impact products to replace disposable plastics.
Products like straws (steel, glass or bamboo), fabric bags, reusable water bottles, cloth diapers, take-away containers made from plants (corn starch, wheat straw, cane, avocado seed or seashell), are some examples of the products offered on this fair.
