the New Plastics Economy initiative will become an important part of the group’s sustainability programme. “Everyone recognises the essential and valuable contribution that plastics have made to many different areas of our daily lives,” he explained.
“It is vital that we complement the materials’ acknowledged benefits with maximising the industry’s contribution to a more circular economy. The joint purpose and commitment of the many different organisations in the New Plastics Economy initiative will be a key factor in achieving this.”
The New Plastics Economy has now produced a second report, presenting the latest research findings and action plans, which was launched to business and government leaders at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland.
