We are 330+ businesses, financial institutions and NGOs, convened by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and WWF, making the case for an ambitious and legally binding UN treaty to end plastic pollution.
A treaty underpinned by harmonised regulation across the full lifecycle of plastics is the lowest-cost and most effective way to help end plastic pollution.
The most effective way to tackle plastic pollution and deliver economic, environmental, and social value at both global and national levels is a UN Global Plastics Treaty, with a harmonised approach and common obligations on phase-outs, product design, and extended producer responsibility.
For business, that means the certainty to invest, the consistency to innovate, and fair competition.
Every year we wait, the cost compounds. There's no time no waste.
Our roadmap outlines five core obligations for governments to establishcommon rules across the full lifecycle, complemented by COP mandates tostrengthen these measures over time.
