GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. — Meijer has announced a $1 million donation to the charitable arm of the Council of the Great Lakes Region in the United States — the CGLR Foundation — to clean up Midwestern beaches and waterways and ultimately inform the public about the scale of the plastics pollution problem in the Great Lakes and actions to take to end plastic waste and litter.

The Great Lakes are the largest surface freshwater system in the world, and models estimate that 22 million pounds of plastic litter enter them annually. An estimated 80 percent of the litter that washes up on those shorelines is plastic.

The $1 million donation from Meijer to the CGLR Foundation will fund the purchase and use of three innovative litter capture and cleanup technologies at more than a dozen locations in the Midwest. They’re part of the expansion of the Great Lakes Plastic Cleanup’s plastic capture and recovery effort, an initiative that started in 2020 by the Council of the Great Lakes Regional and Pollution Probe.

Meijer and the CGLR will lead these cleanup projects at the local level working with a variety of community, state, and environmental NGO partners. Each project will collect, sort, weigh and itemize waste materials to better inform — and educate — the public, regional companies and policymakers at all levels on the problem and the solutions.
