Despite the many benefits plastics provide us, we face a huge challenge in reducing our plastic wastage and littering. To face this challenge, the European Plastics Pact accelerates the shift toward the reuse and recycling of single-use plastic products and packaging.

The Pact brings together governments and frontrunners from across the whole value chain. They work together towards four goals aimed at design, responsible use, recycling capacity and the use of recycled content. The Pact supports this work by offering a unique platform to exchange ideas, display good practices and discuss challenges, needed to build a new circular default for all to follow.

The Netherlands and France started this initiative, but over eighty other organisations (governments, companies, non-governmental organisations and business associations) from across Europe helped to shape the final text of the European Plastics Pact. The official launch event took place in Brussels, March 6 2020 and was attended by the former Minister for the Environment and Spatial Planning Simon Zajc, who signed the Pact on behalf of the Slovenian Government.

Circular Change has also joined the Pact and will continue working with key stakeholders in the government and in the private sector to co-create solutions for better use of plastics.
