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.

Governments, businesses and NGOs throughout the Australia, New Zealand and Pacific Islands region have come together to form Anzpac Plastics Pact. The pact was officially launched on May 18. Its members some sixty represent the complete plastics supply chain, from leading brands, packaging manufacturers and retailers to resource recovery leaders and government institutions.
At the launch, Anzpac also announced that it had immediately joined the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s global Plastics Pact Network, a globally aligned response to plastic waste and pollution that unites over 550 member organizations behind the shared vision of a circular economy for plastic, where it never becomes waste or pollution.
