Nguyễn Dạ Quyên, Natasa Dokovska, Julissa Chaves, Tokky Hou, and Tamara Mekler are five inspiring women from across the globe proving that local action can drive global change.

Each is leading innovative, grassroots solutions to help #BeatPlasticPollution – from refill systems and reusable menstrual pads to transforming textile and agricultural waste into reusable products and advancing environmental policies.

These women are not only cutting plastic waste but also empowering communities, shifting mindsets, and building more sustainable futures.
