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

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.

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.

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.

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.
