Advancing a circular economy for plastic
The global plastic waste challenge requires solutions that are beyond the capabilities of any single organisation. At the Alliance to End Plastic Waste, we drive systems change by harnessing the power of collective action.

To end plastic waste, we must transition into a circular economy for plastic
We need to move away from the traditional take-make-dispose model and strive to keep plastic in use for as long as possible. To do this, the Alliance functions as a laboratory for developing solutions that are economically viable, environmentally beneficial, and socially responsible.
Pathway to circularity
Developing a circular economy requires cohesive collaboration. To enable this, we convene stakeholders and facilitate a global exchange of experience and expertise, laying the groundwork for innovative solutions that helps to end plastic waste.
