Oceania has become the latest region to form a Plastics Pact, which has set out targets to reduce plastics waste by 2025.
The Anzpac Plastics Pact unites businesses, NGOs and governments from across the plastics supply chain in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands behind a “shared vision” of a circular economy for plastics, where it never becomes waste or pollution.
Led by the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO), it has set out four targets to achieve by 2025. The first two are to eliminate the unnecessary and problematic plastics packaging through redesign, innovation and alternative (reuse) delivery models; and making 100 per cent of plastics packaging reusable, recyclable or compostable.
