This report reviews how organisations under the Global Commitment are advancing toward a circular economy for plastics, where plastic never becomes waste. It highlights progress made toward ambitious 2025 targets set by businesses and governments worldwide.
The report shows that over 1,000 signatories are making measurable progress. Many companies have reduced their use of plastics, increased recycled content and improved packaging recyclability. Governments have supported these efforts through policies, infrastructure investments, and regulatory measures like bans and Extended Producer Responsibility schemes. The report also provides standardised data that helps track progress and identify what is working and where more effort is needed.
