Read the Foundation’s latest report, in collaboration with WRAP: “Scaling Impact: The Plastics Pact Network’s Six-Year Journey Towards Eliminating Plastic Pollution and Waste”.
Published today, the report shares the impact and lessons learnt from the past 6 years of the Plastics Pact Network and highlights their ongoing role in driving local, collaborative action around the world, informing and complementing national policy and a Global Plastics Treaty.
The report, a collaboration between the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and WRAP, found that:
The Plastics Pacts are delivering impact on the ground and at scale towards eliminating plastic waste and pollution.
The Plastics Pact Network is demonstrating the swift and impressive impact that can be achieved through collaborative voluntary action, but this is not enough.
Voluntary action needs to be complemented by robust policy. The Plastics Pacts are uniquely placed to inform and support in implementing a future Global Plastics Treaty at national level.
There is a vital mission ahead of us to address the urgent global crisis of plastic waste and pollution; Plastics Pacts will play a significant role in this. With a bold Global Plastics Treaty, revitalised business backing, and increased investment, the Plastics Pact Network is uniquely positioned to play a critical role in ending plastic pollution. Together, let's take decisive action and create a more sustainable future for people and our planet.
