The Ellen McArthur Foundation’s Plastics Initiative is joining forces with the World Economic Forum’s Global Plastic Action Partnership (GPAP) and international climate action NGO WRAP, to ensure more efficient knowledge sharing across their combined network.

The three organisations have been individually running national level initiatives to tackle plastic pollution since 2018, which today collectively span more than twenty countries. Now, to help accelerate their shared vision for a circular economy

This will also help nations prepare the groundwork for the seismic shift in the way plastic is produced and used, which is expected to occur with the ratification of the International legally binding instrument to end plastic pollution by mid-2025.

“These three organisations are leading global efforts to create plastics systems that work, and which eliminate plastics pollution. As policymakers work towards designing a global treaty to bring plastics into the circular economy, collaboration of like-minded stakeholders is more important than ever. The creation of this new platform allows further exchange of best practices at a local level and the demonstration of real change on the ground, which can be critical to support an ambitious treaty development,” said Andrew Morlet, CEO, Ellen MacArthur Foundation.
