Our vision

A world where plastic is valued and doesn’t pollute the environment

The Pact aims to promote collaborative action to enable innovative solutions to change the way plastics are designed, produced, used, and disposed.

Key principles

Eliminate

all problematic and
unnecessary plastic items

Innovate

to ensure that the plastics we do
need are reusable, recyclable, or
compostable

Circulate

all the plastic items we use to
keep them in the economy and
out of the environment

1.

Define a list of unnecessary or problematic plastic packaging and items and take measures to address them through redesign and innovation

2.

100%

of plastic packaging to be reusable, recyclable or compostable*

3.

50%

of plastic packaging to be effectively recycled

4.

25%

average recycled content across all plastic packaging

*These would only include compostable plastics with all the following properties

  • a. do not leave any microplastic residue,

  • b. used in closed-loop and controlled systems with sufficient infrastructure available or fit-for-purpose applications, and,

  • c. properly labelled as ‘Home’ or ‘Industrial’ compostable.
