Web Blast
The U.S. Plastics Pact, a collaborative led by The Re- cycling Partnership and World Wildlife Fund (WWF), launched as part of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s global Plastics Pact network.The U.S. Plastics Pact is an initiative to unify diverse public-private stakeholders across the plastics value chain to rethink the way plas- tics are designed, used, and reused, to create a path to- ward a circular economy for plastic in the United States. The U.S. Plastics Pact brings together companies, government entities, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), researchers, and other stakeholders in a pre-competitive platform for industry-led innovation. The U.S. Plastics Pact will drive collaborative action and deliver a significant system change toward a cir- cular economy for plastic, enabling companies and governments in the United States to collectively meet impactful goals by 2025 that they could not otherwise meet on their own. Igniting Change “Together, through the U.S.Plastics Pact,we will ignite systems change to accelerate progress toward a circular economy,” said Sarah Dearman,VP of Circular Ventures for The Recycling Partnership.“As the lead organization that engages the full supply chain to advance circular- ity in the United States, it’s a natural fit for The Recy- cling Partnership to further collaborative action with other industry leaders to create substantial, long-lasting change for the betterment of our planet. The results from the U.S. Plastics Pact’s efforts to advance packag- ing, improve recycling, and reduce plastic waste will benefit the entire system and all materials.” In line with the Ellen McArthur Foundation’s vision of a circular economy for plastic, which unites more than 850+ organizations, underpinned by common definitions and concrete targets, the U.S. Plastics Pact brings together plastic packaging producers, brands, retailers, recyclers,waste management companies,pol- icymakers, and other stakeholders to work collectively toward scalable solutions tailored to the unique needs and challenges within the U.S landscape, through knowledge sharing and coordinated action. As of today, more than 60 Activators — including for-profit companies, government agencies, and NGOs — have joined the Pact, representing each part of the supply and plastics manufacturing chain. By joining the U.S. Plastics Pact, Activators agree to collectively deliver these four targets: • Define a list of packaging to be designated as prob- lematic or unnecessary by 2021 and take measures to eliminate them by 2025.
