The Plastics Pact Network's Six-Year Journey Towards Eliminating Plastic Pollution and Waste

The way that we currently produce and use plastics poses a major risk to people and the planet.

The Plastics Pact Network is a globally coordinated response to this world-wide problem. Plastic Pacts have achieved the elimination of over 360,000 tonnes of problematic and unnecessary plastics, which has prevented billions of items entering landfills or filtering into the environment.

The network's work, rooted in a Blueprint for collaborative systems change, now spans every continent, engaging 19 countries and over 900 local and global organisations.

In some Pact countries, rates of recycled content in plastic packaging have tripled. Overall, members of Plastics Pacts prevented the use of over 2.2 million tonnes of virgin plastic by 2022.
