The Quest for Quality explores how advanced mechanical recycling can help transform household flexible plastic waste into high-quality recyclates for demanding packaging applications. Drawing on lessons from the ValueFlex project, the report outlines the technical, economic, and market conditions needed to scale these solutions.

A new country-level index under development to measure plastics circularity performance and readiness, and help drive more informed action across the plastics value chain.

The Alliance offers a perspective about how the flexible plastic waste challenge can be solved. This report draws on key insights to point to potential solutions relevant to much of Europe, the US, and Canada — high-income countries with strong basic waste management systems.

Faced with rising local and ocean plastic waste, Small Islands and Remote Coastal Areas (SICs) are disproportionately impacted by the global plastic pollution crisis. This whitepaper by PREVENT Waste Alliance explores their unique challenges and evaluates current solutions to drive circularity and sustainability.

In 2023, the Alliance accelerated its work in advancing circularity — testing and evolving solutions that are scalable and replicable.​

This framework introduces an innovative approach to measure the multifaceted impacts of the Alliance's mission to end plastic waste, utilising diverse metrics and independent assurance for transparency and meaningful results.

The Solutions for Change Summit, held in New York City on 6 December 2024, brought together over 120 leaders from business, government, academia, and civil society to address the pressing global challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. A key aim of the Summit was the creation of an Action Agenda by the private sector.

An industry roadmap for recyclate quality specifications

The Alliance worked with EY to develop a dedicated framework to meaningfully measure our impact. Read more about our framework development process in our whitepaper.

This report lays out nine recommendations for feedstock that can be used for pyrolysis. The study aims to provide baseline characterisation to enable greater alignment across the recycling value chain.

This comprehensive report by the Alliance, in collaboration with Roland Berger, offers insights into various policies and levers that countries can adopt to enhance recycling rates, strengthen waste management systems, and progress towards an improved circularity for plastics.
