Led by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, in collaboration with the UN Environment Programme, the Global Commitment has united more than 1,000 organisations behind a common vision of a circular economy for plastics.
Driven by the goal of tackling plastic pollution at its source, companies representing 20% of all plastic packaging produced globally have committed to ambitious 2025 targets to help realise that common vision. This fifth annual progress report looks at how these signatories are faring against these targets.
