The U.S. Plastics Pact brings together businesses, not-for-profit organizations, government agencies, and research institutions that work together toward a common vision of a circular economy for plastics, as outlined by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s New Plastics Economy Initiative. This vision aims to ensure that plastics never become waste by eliminating the plastics we don’t need, innovating to ensure that the plastics we do need are reusable, recyclable, or compostable, and circulating all the plastic items we use to keep them in the economy and out of the environment.
United Toward a Common Vision
By bringing together all stakeholders and driving action, the U.S. Plastics Pact will deliver a step change toward a circular economy, enabling companies and governments in the U.S. to collectively meet impactful targets by 2025 that they could not meet on their own. Public-private led collaboration can help address the massive undertaking needed to change the U.S. systems that produce, use, recover, and process plastics with solution-driven actions.
