Committed to the Plastics Pact targets towards a circular economy
Evertis is a proud member of the U.S. Plastics Pact, working to shape a circular future for plastic packaging. As an Activator, Evertis helps the Pact tackle difficult issues and make recommendations for actions we can take now and in the future. The U.S. Plastics Pact’s Roadmap to 2025 has been used by brand owners, NGOs and government bodies to inform and shape policy by providing a cross-functional, cross-industry approach to the challenges and opportunities plastic packaging represents. In 2023 Evertis participated in the first ever U.S. Plastics Pact Action Summit in New Orleans to accelerate progress toward existing goals and begin work to create a roadmap beyond 2025 to help define the role of the U.S. Plastics Pact in the future. We also dove deeper into the Pact’s work through participation in the Film and Flexibles workstream, an area in need of enhanced support due to the more limited recycling opportunities that exist today. The U.S. Plastics Pact has established itself as an action- oriented voice of the industry in the challenging world of plastics circularity.
Evertis strongly supports the Plastics Pact´s mission of bringing together expertise and resources across the entire plastics value chain. We believe that by sharing best practices, challenges and reporting on our progress, businesses can learn from each other, and jointly transform the plastics system. Every year, pact members report on how we have contributed towards the four targets set out by the Plastics Pacts. In 2023, we shared how through the RETRAY certification we strengthened our commitment to increasing the utilisation of recycled content in our films, as well as increasing recyclability. This certification underscores our commitment to reducing plastic waste through innovative approaches and promoting circularity in our operations. Moreover, we actively contributed to the creation and launch of the “Porquê o Plástico” (“Why Plastic”) guideline created by the Portuguese Plastics Pact. This guide serves as a comprehensive resource, explaining the meaning of implementing a circular economy for plastics, enabling a more rational, responsible, and sustainable use of plastics. This initiative aligns with our goal of promoting awareness and understanding of the importance of a circular economy for plastics. Through our participation in the Plastics Pacts, Evertis continues to lead by example in the journey towards a more sustainable future. We remain dedicated to driving positive change, fostering innovation, and collaborating with stakeholders to create lasting solutions to the challenges of plastic pollution.
Evertis has been at the forefront of joint efforts in implementing solutions towards a circular economy, exemplified by our active participation in the Plastics Pact established by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. As a founding member of both the Portuguese Plastics Pact and the U.S. Plastics Pact, we have demonstrated our commitment to driving the transition towards a circular economy for plastics.
