The Plastics Pact Network, started by WRAP and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation in 2018, has helped 12 countries increase their plastic packaging recycling by 9%, or 463,000 tons. Details from the report, “Plastics Pacts – Scaling Impact”, the network eliminated 360,000 tons of “problematic and unnecessary” plastics and redesigned more than 850,000 tons of plastic packaging to make it reusable, recyclable, or compostable at scale. Also, the network has increased recycled content in packaging by 44%, avoiding the use of 2.2 million tons of virgin plastic in 2022.
