The Global Commitment and Plastic Pact network convenes businesses, governments and other organizations behind a common vision of a circular economy for plastic. Signatories to the Global Commitment, which together account for 20% of the plastic packaging market, have set ambitious 2025 targets.
This fourth annual progress report looks at how the signatories are faring against these targets. The report finds that despite strong progress, key 2025 targets are expected to be missed, reinforcing the urgency for accelerated action by businesses around reuse, flexible packaging and decoupling business growth from packaging use. Governments are also urged to take action in promoting a high ambition level in upcoming negotiations for a legally binding instrument on plastic pollution.
