US$21mn public-private alliance launched to ‘tackle plastic waste’
Despite a number of corporate commitments to reduce plastic use, most companies have continued to increase tonnage.
Unilever, USAID and EY have invested US$21 million into a public-private alliance to scale solutions to reduce plastic use and tackle plastic waste.
The CIRCLE Alliance, which will be the flagship initiative under USAID's Save Our Seas programme to combat ocean plastic pollution, aims to support entrepreneurs and small businesses across the plastics value chain and build a circular plastic economy.
