UPM Raflatac Helps Launch U.S. Plastics Pact Roadmap UPM Raflatac helped launch The U.S. Plastics Pact’s “Roadmap to 2025,” a national strategy illustrating how the U.S. Pact, UPM Raflatac and fellow signatories, known asActivators,will achieve each of the U.S.Pact’s four 2025 targets through specific actions, responsibil- ities, and interim timeframes to realize a circular econ- omy for plastics in the United States by 2025. Launched in August 2020, The U.S. Plastics Pact is a consortium led by The Recycling Partnership and WorldWildlife Fund (WWF) as part of the Ellen MacAr- thur Foundation’s global Plastics Pact network, which unites a holistic ecosystem of cross-industry stake- holders behind a common vision and national strategy to address plastic waste at its source by 2025. Value Chain UPM Raflatac joins other stakeholders across the plastics value chain in achieving systemic change and accelerating progress toward the following 2025 tar- gets by inspiring and supporting upstream innovation through coordinated initiatives such as rethinking products, packaging, and business models in order to transition away from today’s take-make-waste model to a circular economy where plastics never become waste: • Define a list of packaging to be designated as prob- lematic or unnecessary by 2021 and take measures to eliminate them by 2025; • 100 percent of plastic packaging will be reusable, recyclable, or compostable by 2025; • By 2025, undertake ambitious actions to effectively recycle or compost 50 percent of plastic packaging;and * By 2025, the average recycled content or respon- sibly sourced bio-based content in plastic packaging will be 30 percent.
