Plastic’s versatility, durability, and affordability have made it an essential material. At the same time, it has become a growing pollutant impacting ways of life around the world.
The second film in our human‑interest series, created in partnership with Rainshadow Films and Riverroots Productions, “The Human Side of Plastic: Abby Barrows” explores the effects of plastic pollution on Maine’s lobster fishing and aquaculture industries.
The film follows microplastics researcher and oyster farmer Abby Barrows, owner of Deer Isle Oyster Company, as she works to identify sustainable solutions to protect coastal livelihoods.
Abby’s story highlights that individual action can only go so far. We need stronger regulation to drive change at scale.

BIG NEWS. The @who just announced a policy recommendation for a new life-saving tool in the fight against malaria.
This decision comes after more than a decade of work by a dedicated @scj team. Spatial repellents are the first WHO-approved vector control tool for malaria prevention in about 25 years since bed nets.
More than 600,000 people die each year from this insidious disease, and now, along with our partners, we can significantly expand our efforts and help save and improve many lives.
Plastic pollution looks different around the world and in Dakar, this growing issue is impacting marine life and ocean ecosystems the community relies on.
The first in a series of human-interest films, in partnership with partnership @rainshadow_films and @riverrootsproductions , follows @babscopa and his journey leading local efforts to tackle hashtag#plasticwaste. His story highlights how one person’s commitment can spark widespread change.
Babacar’s story serves as a reminder that like each drop in the ocean, we can all take action and work together to drive toward impactful change. Learn more and be a part of the movement by visiting the link in bio.

On World Malaria Day, we’re celebrating the innovations and partnerships making a real difference in the fight against this deadly disease.
At @scj ’s manufacturing facility in Kenya, African teams are leading the production of Guardian, a spatial repellent designed to help protect families from mosquito-borne disease. Backed by more than a decade of research, Guardian can reduce disease risk by one third for up to a year when used properly.
This collaboration shows what’s possible when science meets local leadership.
Innovation manufactured in Africa, for communities most impacted by malaria.
This Earth Day, we’re celebrating a partnership built on tangible impact.
Since 2018, SC Johnson and Plastic Bank have worked together to build recycling ecosystems that stop plastic pollution while creating economic opportunity.
Together we’ve helped recover the equivalent of more than 6.2 billion plastic bottles and supported more than 45,400 collectors across Indonesia, the Philippines, Brazil, and Thailand.

Clean is a feeling, and scent plays a powerful role in how we recognize it.
Studies show people often rely on fragrance to judge whether a space feels fresh and complete.
That’s why behind every fragrance in SC Johnson products, including Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day®, there’s an intentional blend of science, memory, and sensory design — often inspired by nature and everyday life at home.

At @scj 's manufacturing facility in Kenya, local heroes are working every day on the front lines in the fight against malaria.
In communities most impacted by malaria, SC Johnson's Guardian™ spatial repellents can reduce risk of disease by a third for up to one year when used properly. By helping reduce mosquito exposure, families miss fewer days to illness, more kids can stay in school, and caregivers have more time for work and daily life.
From manufacturing to distribution, African teams are leading the effort to bring Guardian™ to communities where protection from insect-borne diseases matters most. This is what global partnership looks like: innovation backed by science, and impact driven by local leadership.
We’re excited we've teamed up with @kidzaniamexico on a Recycling Plant activity just for kids! 💚♻️
Children become real “Recycling Engineers” as they learn how plastic bottles are sorted, treated, and transformed into new recycled products. It’s hands-on, fun, and shows how small actions can make a big difference for the planet. 🌎✨
Together, we’re helping inspire the next generation to care for the environment—one recycled bottle at a time.
🇲🇽 ¡Estamos muy emocionados de unirnos a KidZania Cuicuilco para abrir una nueva actividad de Planta de Reciclaje pensada especialmente para niñas y niños! 💚♻️
Los niños se convierten en verdaderos “Ingenieros del Reciclaje” mientras aprenden cómo las botellas de plástico PET se separan, se tratan y se transforman en nuevos productos hechos con material reciclado.
Es una actividad práctica, divertida y que demuestra cómo las pequeñas acciones pueden marcar una gran diferencia para el planeta. 🌎✨
Juntos, estamos ayudando a inspirar a la próxima generación a cuidar el medio ambiente, una botella reciclada a la vez.
The Human Side of Plastic by Deer Isle filmmaker Abby Barrows proves that the most powerful environmental storytelling starts close to home.
