Spearhead Project Earth™ is a not-for-profit foundation led by The Spearhead Group, a global packaging and innovation company with headquarters in Yardley, PA. Founded in fall 2022, Spearhead Project Earth’s first project is overseeing an ongoing clean-up and environmental education campaign on Burlington Island, New Jersey in the Delaware River. Burlington Island has a rich history, dating back to settlements by the indigenous peoples of the area and later, as an active river trading post. The project focuses on reducing the negative impact of single-use plastics in rivers, oceans, and waterways, a first initiative that actively recruits and trains local community members to support volunteer efforts with measurable impact.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES
“Spearhead Project Earth operates on the belief that first-hand experience is one of the best ways to raise awareness on the environmental impact of our use and misuse of plastics. We’re here to educate our communities on how every single action can make a difference.”
