why REFUSE, REUSE, REPLACE.
We refuse to accept that convenience should come at the cost of
our planet.
Plastic pollution is not inevitable.
It is the result of millions of decisions made every day by governments, manufacturers, retailers, and consumers.
Today we choose differently.
By joining the Plastic Rebellion, I choose responsibility over convenience.
I choose repair over waste.
I choose action over excuses.
This is not a protest against plastic itself.
It is a rebellion against wasteful systems, governments not acting and anyone that treat nature as disposable.
The PLASTIC REBELLION pledge
By taking the Plastic Rebellion Pledge, you are making a personal commitment to protect the planet through everyday actions. You pledge to reduce your reliance on unnecessary single-use plastics, recycle responsibly, support circular and regenerative solutions, and encourage others to do the same. Together, we can challenge wasteful systems, demand better from brands and policymakers, and prove that meaningful change begins with the choices each of us makes every day.
HOW TO BECOME A REBEL?
Becoming a Plastic Rebel is simple, but it starts with a conscious decision. Sign the Plastic Rebellion Pledge form, commit to making more responsible everyday choices, and stand alongside thousands of others who refuse unnecessary single-use plastics, recycle correctly, reuse wherever possible, and demand better from brands and policymakers. Your official Plastic Rebellion Tote Bag is a symbol of that commitment.
A visible reminder that real change begins with individual action and grows through a united community determined to protect and restore our planet. The tote should start the conversation and get more people to rebel! You must be based in Portugal to receive your tote.
THE PLASTIC REBELLION HIERARCHY
The Plastic Rebellion is built on action, integrity and responsibility. These are not rules designed to restrict you, but commitments that unite a community determined to reduce plastic pollution and protect the natural world. By following these principles, every Plastic Rebel helps create lasting change through everyday choices, collective action and a shared belief that a healthier planet begins with each of us.
Together, our individual actions become a powerful force for environmental repair, regeneration and hope.

your plastic rebellion tote
Your official Plastic Rebellion Tote Bag is more than just a bag; it is a symbol of your commitment to a cleaner, more responsible future. Made from durable 190T recycled polyester (100% rPET), each tote is created entirely from post-consumer plastic waste, including discarded plastic bottles that have been transformed into a strong, lightweight fabric. Measuring 380 × 420 mm, it is designed for everyday use, helping to replace countless single-use plastic bags throughout its lifetime in your day-to-day activities. Carrying your Plastic Rebellion Tote is a visible statement that you have chosen to stand for reuse, circularity and positive environmental action.
After making your pledge, we will review your details and innitiate the membership. The tote can be collected in person in your Campolide HUB or, if you are not based in Lisbon, we will send by national post.
