Global action gains momentum to end plastic pollution with the Global Plastic Action Partnership
Plastic pollution is choking our planet—but a wave of innovative solutions is rising to meet the challenge. Every year, we discard an estimated $80–100 billion worth of plastic—wasting not only materials but enormous economic potential.
Climate experts say reimagining how we design, collect, and reuse plastic could unlock a powerful engine for innovation and green job creation.
Now, with the World Economic Forum’s Global Plastic Action Partnership operating in 25 countries and reaching 1.5 billion people, the world is witnessing the largest coordinated push yet to tackle plastic waste.
This global effort, driven by governments, businesses, and civil society, is proving what’s possible when collaboration takes center stage.
