No time to WASTE

The annual mass of plastic production and mismanaged waste is projected to more than double by 2050.
It is thought 78% of the plastic pollution problem could be solved by 2040 - But only if all possible reduction pathways are followed: reducing consumption, increasing reuse, waste collection and recycling, and accelerating innovation in the plastic value chain.
There is literally no time to waste - and why our focus is on accelerating innovation, stepping up our efforts to create local circular economy systems, whilst constantly campaigning for governmental action.
