The path towards plastic circularity starts at the drawing board. Designing products and packaging with circularity in mind helps keep plastic in circulation for longer, minimising waste and environmental impact. When design prioritises reduction, reusability, recyclability, and recovery, it can be part of the plastic waste solution. Learn more about designing for circularity and its crucial role in closing the loop for plastics in our carousel. #EndPlasticWaste #CircularEconomy #DesignForCircularity #recycling

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.

Taking stock of the past year and looking ahead, our President and CEO Jacob Duer emphasises the need for collaboration to tackle the plastic waste challenge. While efforts to advance circularity have accelerated, there's still much to be done to build a circular economy for plastics. Read our 2023 Progress Report, Advancing Circularity: Solutions for Change, to learn more about our work to develop and scale solutions, catalyse capital, and drive positive impact: https://bit.ly/3ykV0QT #EndPlasticWaste #CircularEconomy #SolutionsForChange #progress #wastemanagement

By 1 January 2030, all plastic packaging on the European Union market must be recyclable and recycled at scale by 2035. To achieve this, collection, sorting and recycling performance for different packaging types will need to be significantly improved. ‘Intelligent Packaging’ in the form of digital watermarks can enable higher granularity of sorting of packaging waste at scale and at higher efficiency. Recently, the project also successfully validated digital watermarking technology from Digimarc and Pellenc ST, paired with Near Infrared (NIR) imaging, for advanced sorting of flexible packaging. This method has proved effective at separating hygiene-grade LDPE and food-grade PP films, potentially enabling higher-quality recycling streams at an efficiency not currently possible with other technologies.

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.
