Meat snack brand Chomps has launched a new partnership with global cleanup organization 4ocean, establishing a pound-for-pound plastic removal commitment. For every pound of plastic used in its packaging, the company has pledged to fund the removal of an equivalent amount from the ocean.

- While some federal and local governments push plastic bans, these mandates are often short-lived and fail to address the root problem meaningfully.
- This story highlights how real progress comes from entrepreneurs, not regulation. Chomps’ partnership with 4ocean demonstrates how businesses can take environmental action, driven by consumer demand rather than government mandates.
- By pledging to remove a pound of ocean plastic for every pound used in its packaging, Chomps is proving that private-sector leadership can drive measurable impact.
