We envision a world without plastic waste in the environment, driven by a functioning circular economy.
About us
We envision a world without plastic waste in the environment, driven by a functioning circular economy. We consider ourselves a global laboratory for sustainable solutions helping to get closer to that vision. Our experience and know-how draw from the unique context of more than 50 projects. We de-risk, develop and deploy new technologies, business models and solutions for solving plastic waste leakage in the environment. But this alone is not enough. Ending plastic waste is complex and will require systemic change, driven by all of us. That is why we, as a global non-profit, convene more than 70 companies across the plastic value chain with local communities, civil society groups, intergovernmental organisations, and governments. Together, we are finding solutions that are environmentally friendly, socially acceptable and economically viable.

How mature is your country's plastic waste management system? Our Plastic Waste Management Framework, developed with Roland Berger, classifies 192 countries into 6 levels based on their plastic waste management and recycling capabilities. For each level, the framework outlines potential pathways to enhance plastic collection and recycling, recommending specific actions and policies to advance waste management systems and drive systems change.

What is possible when we work together and align ourselves with partners who share our goal to end plastic waste? In 2023, the Alliance and its network of members and partners collectively made strides towards advancing circularity: 🔻 Reduced 118,580 Tonnes of unmanaged plastic waste ♻ Captured 128,240 Tonnes of value from unmanaged plastic waste, primarily through recycling 💵 Allocated US$271m of funding towards mission-related activities While it’s meaningful progress, our work continues to evolve as we take on the successes and learnings from past years to bring us closer to our vision of a world free of plastic waste. Discover our impact and more. Download our Progress Report 2023: https://lnkd.in/gXMsrQT7 #EndPlasticWaste #CircularEconomy #SolutionsForChange #progress #wastemanagement #sustainability

How can we unlock the value of plastic films and flexible plastics at scale? We’re partnering with the Council of the Great Lakes Region (CGLR) to tackle this challenge with a secondary sortation pilot programme in Chicago. With the support of Titus MRF Services and LRS, this project aims to demonstrate the economic viability of secondary sortation by recovering flexibles and films for recycling. This in turn improves the quality and value for Material Recovery Facilities and subsequently, overall recycling rates. The pilot will help determine the scale required to make secondary sorting cost-effective – knowledge that can then be shared with other regions to enable replication.

By 2040, mobilising over $1 trillion in investments across the plastics value chain will be crucial for transitioning to a circular model. The Lombard Odier Investment Managers (LOIM) Plastic Circularity Fund is one in a toolkit of financing instruments that will prove pivotal in driving this shift. By investing in companies developing innovative, lower-carbon plastics that extend product life and enhance recycling, the Fund aims to reduce plastic waste and emissions, while accelerating plastic circularity. Public-private partnerships are vital for mobilising not just resources, but also the expertise and technologies needed to develop and deploy scalable solutions. Together, let’s drive action towards sustainability, with investments that spark innovation and inspire change. #EndPlasticWaste #CircularEconomy #sustainability #investment

Upskilling waste workers is crucial for improved health and safety, and increased employee engagement. It also leads to better plastic waste management, especially in ensuring efficient material recovery facility (MRF) operations. Through ongoing projects with our partners in Brazil, China, Indonesia, and Kenya, we have identified seven key steps to develop and provide effective training for waste workers in basic manual sorting facilities. These steps, along with practical guidance for each, are covered in our Solution Model Playbook, Unlocking Value Through Basic Manual Sorting Of Municipal Waste. For valuable insights and strategies to uplift waste workers, improve value recovery in the waste collection process, and ultimately, support replication efforts, download the playbook here: https://bit.ly/4ajBqBC #EndPlasticWaste #SolutionsForChange #SolutionModels #playbooks #CircularEconomy
