About the Pact
The India Plastics Pact is a collaboration between WWF India and CII—anchored at the CII-ITC Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Development (CESD), and supported by WRAP, a global NGO based in the UK. WRAP is providing operational and technical support to many other Plastics Pacts, as well as running the UK Plastics Pact. The Plastics Pact envisions ‘a world where plastic is valued and does not pollute the environment.’
The Pact focusses on addressing the barriers to circularity in the plastic packaging sector.
The Four Targets

The India Plastics Pact is uniting businesses, the government, NGOs non-profits and other stakeholders to:
Create a unified national framework to drive action for a circular economy for plastics.

Develop a roadmap to reach the targets and stimulate progress through collaborative action-oriented workstreams
Measure and report progress
Empower businesses, government and stakeholders to take action across the value chain
Catalyse effective policy to accelerate progress
