On November 5, 2020, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation released its “Global Commitment 2020 Progress Report” which ”… looks at how Global Commitment signatories, which together account for more than 20% of the plastic packaging market, are faring against their 2025 targets on plastics … 118 businesses that produce, use, and recycle large volumes of plastic packaging … and 17 governments across five continents … have reported on progress against public targets … The Global Commitment unites businesses, governments, and other organisations behind a common vision to address plastic waste and pollution at its source, beginning with plastic packaging … all Global Commitment signatories are working to: eliminate the plastic items we don’t need; innovate so all plastics we do need are designed to be safely reused, recycled, or composted; [and] circulate everything we use to keep it in the economy and out of the environment …” – The web link to the progress report is included in the post on the home page of Plastic Food Packaging Waste News http://www.pfpw.news at https://pfpw.news/2020/11/05/plastic-waste-business-and-government-commitments/ #PlasticWaste #SingleUsePlastic #ellenmacarthurfoundation
