Alliance To End Plastic Waste

The issue of plastic waste demands collective action through a systemic change. This can only be achieved through collaboration between corporations, municipalities, governments, and consumers. Hear from @JacobDuer and Keefe Harrison on fostering multi-stakeholder collaboration.

@EM203CalebNolet Thanks for raising this. Best to check with local authorities or community groups—recycling and plastic waste guidance varies by country, and often by city or municipality too.

@EndPlasticWaste Hi, I had a question! I'm doing a class assignment and would love to know what methods students could use to combat plastic waste and get educated about recycling. Thanks!

Recycling flexible plastics is one of the sector’s biggest challenges — and biggest opportunities. Our Flexibles Program is advancing practical, scalable solutions across North America and Europe. Explore what’s working: bit.ly/4qtcEGV #CircularEconomy #Flexibles

What does it take to unlock viable recycling pathways for flexible plastic packaging waste? Find out at our webinar on 10 Feb 2026 with value chain leaders incl. Amcor, @pellencst & Brückner. Register: bit.ly/4bgNxDq #CircularEconomy #Flexibles

We are excited to welcome @obengroup to the Alliance. As a global leader in flexible packaging solutions, they bring strong technical expertise to our network, bolstering our efforts in driving circular solutions. Learn more: bit.ly/4qV6iRw #EndPlasticWaste

We’re pleased to welcome Kafrit Group to the Alliance. A global leader in masterbatches and compounds, Kafrit joins our network supporting circular plastics innovation. Find out more at bit.ly/4rtOf63 #EndPlasticWaste #CircularEconomy

Plastic waste is polluting the Philippines’ coastlines. Greencycle, backed by the Alliance, is tackling it by recovering low-value flexible plastics and supporting waste pickers & local government units. See how community partnerships drive change: bit.ly/4oxsr6V

PET bottles are reusable and recyclable, making them a model for a circular design. Hear from our Chief Advisor Martyn Tickner on the success of PET bottle designs. Discover more insights here: bit.ly/4hGwRGh #EndPlasticWaste #CircularEconomy #ICYMI

Flexible plastics are challenging to recycle, but new models are showing what is possible. Join Delterra, @DowNewsroom and us on 19 Nov to learn more. Register now: 🗓️ 12:30pm CET / 6:30pm Jakarta: bit.ly/49NXAyW 🗓️ 10am PT / 1pm ET / 3pm ART: bit.ly/47EIJ8O

Supported by the Alliance, ARO is strengthening South Africa’s waste management system by formalising reclaimers, expanding sorting sites, and engaging communities to separate waste at source. See how: bit.ly/46TDb9V #EndPlasticWaste #InformalWasteWorkers

Design plays a vital role in making plastics circular. @DowNewsroom's Jihane Ball explains how smarter design & reuse systems can meet new EU rules and accelerate circular models. Watch how innovation drives change. #EndPlasticWaste #CircularEconomy #DesignForCircularity

Informal waste workers collect most plastic in many countries, yet face unsafe working conditions & have little social protection. With funding recipients, we try to improve safety & social recognition, supporting a just transition: bit.ly/4pFf7ih #EndPlasticWaste

In countries like Nepal, waste recovery has been hindered by challenging terrain and limited infrastructure. Learn how Prayaash is overcoming this by integrating formal and informal systems and improving efficiency: bit.ly/3KmpebA

Watch how the Alliance is collaborating with the local government, village heads, and residents to pilot an integrated waste management system in Malang Regency, East Java. This project shows how collaboration is essential: bit.ly/46LPvJE

For years, Ms. Lan worked as an informal waste collector with little recognition. With support from VietCycle and the Alliance, she has health insurance, a uniform, and a renewed sense of dignity – without changing the work she’s always been proud to do: endplasticwaste.org/report2024

@WorldBank @Asasefoundation @lombardodier 5/ To learn more about how we are catalysing capital to fast-track the shift to a circular economy, read our Progress Report 2024: Evolving for Impact – endplasticwaste.org/report2024

@WorldBank @Asasefoundation 4/ Plastic Circularity Fund: Managed by @lombardodier Investment Managers, the fund invests in businesses that offer scalable and economically viable solutions which promote the transition to a circular economy.

1/ ~$1.2 to $2.1 trillion is needed by 2040 to build the infrastructure to stop plastic from leaking into the environment. Bridging this gap requires collaboration and catalytic capital to turn bold ideas into real, investable solutions. Some examples ⬇️

Ann struggled with rent and food costs until she joined @TakaTakaSol, where she now earns a stable income to support her family. With the Alliance's support, TakaTaka has helped 373 waste workers, including Ann, secure dignified livelihoods. bit.ly/46LPvJE
