The Business Coalition for a Global Plastics Treaty brings together businesses and financial institutions committed to supporting the development of an ambitious, effective and legally binding UN treaty to end plastic pollution.
More than 80 organizations, including businesses from across the plastics value chain, financial institutions and NGOs, have aligned on a shared vision, which sees the treaty as the key policy mechanism to accelerate progress in three critical areas: the reduction of plastic production and use through a circular economy approach; increased circulation of all necessary plastics; and the prevention and remediation of hard-to-abate micro- and macro-plastic leakage into the environment.
The coalition is working to develop ambitious policy recommendations, engage with treaty negotiators and build confidence in the business community on the benefits and necessity of an effective treaty that sets common goals, rules and obligations to be implemented in national jurisdictions.
