About the session

What’s covered

How can companies translate plastic commitments — many of which are now being delayed — into measurable, meaningful action? Where can businesses drive the greatest impact in the circular materials system?

Plastic pollution threatens business resilience, continuity, and credibility. Despite ambitious 2025 goals, progress has stalled and deadlines have been extended. Now, more than ever, we need steady progress and accountability. Companies and their ecosystem partners need to advocate for stronger policies, take meaningful action, and invest effectively.

This session will examine how companies can close the “how” gap by evaluating their plastic waste lifecycle and prioritizing actions that maximize impact. Join us to learn about how a community of practice that includes businesses, governments, and civil society is coming together to drive systems change and keep plastic out of nature.
