The U.S. Plastics Pact is an ambitious initiative to unify diverse public-private stakeholders across the plastics value chain to rethink the way plastics is designed, used and reused, to create a path towards a circular economy for plastic in the United States.
U.S. industry leaders recognise that significant, systemwide change is needed to realise a circular economy for plastic; individualised action isn’t enough and thus, The U.S. Plastics Pact brings together companies, government entities, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), researchers, and other stakeholders in a pre-competitive platform for industryled innovation. The Pact will drive collaborative action and deliver a significant system change towards a circular economy for plastic, enabling companies and governments in the U.S. to collectively meet impactful goals by 2025 that they could not otherwise meet on their own.
“Together, through the U.S. Plastics Pact, we will ignite systems change to accelerate progress toward a circular economy,” says Sarah Dearman, VP of Circular Ventures for The Recycling Partnership. “As the lead organisation that engages the full supply chain to advance circularity in the U.S., it’s a natural fit for The Recycling Partnership to further collaborative action with other industry leaders to createsubstantial, long-lasting change for the betterment of our planet. The results from the U.S. Plastics Pact’s efforts to advance packaging, improve recycling, and reduce plastic waste will benefit the entire system and all materials.”
