Amcor, Delterra, Mars, and P&G have launched a strategic partnership to stem the tide of plastic pollution in the Global South.
The companies are jointly committing $6 million over the next five years to scale upstream and downstream solutions for a circular plastics economy.
The strategic partnership will aim to provide easy access to waste management and recycling systems beginning with 10 million people in Argentina, Indonesia, and Brazil.
The partners say they will positively impact the entire ecosystem by exploring new ways to drive true system change and to innovate beyond each organization’s field, such as material traceability solutions to provide transparency on the source, quality, and ethical concerns.
.According to the partners, they recognize that plastic pollution is a symptom of underperforming or non-existent waste management and circularity solutions.
Shannon Bouton, president, and CEO at Delterra, said: “Solving plastic pollution – and indeed the broader waste crisis, requires a rethinking of the way we produce and manage waste. This includes a rapid expansion of the waste collection and sortation and reliable recycling markets, alongside a deeper redesign of how we consume.”
The announcement comes in the lead-up to the second negotiating committee meeting for the UN Global Plastics Treaty to be held in Paris, France from May 20 to June 2.
