4 key principles were established
|
Act now or risk permanent damage for future generations. |
Collective action no organization can tackle this problem alone. |
A cross-value chain approach no single business sector can drive true systems change. |
A do-tank, not a think-tank discussion, policy, and public pledges are important, but real action and real investment are needed. |
4 strategic areas of intervention
Infrastructure
Many communities, especially in Asia and Africa, do not have systems to collect and manage plastic waste or to increase recycling.
Innovation
We support ideas that scale new technologies and solutions for a circular economy, with funding, capacity building, and incubation services.
Education
Lasting change is only possible if everyone knows why and what it takes to end plastic waste in the environment. We work with communities at local scale to drive deeper engagement.
Clean up
Every community should have universal access to an environment free of plastic waste.
