About the project
Working around the world, Plastic Reboot is partnering with governments, businesses, civil society organisations and experts to build systems that keep plastic out of nature. Circular systems that rethink how plastic packaging and products are designed to reduce, reuse, and prevent pollution.
Through 15 country projects, Plastic Reboot provides catalytic funding, coordination, and technical support to find and test circular policies and solutions. Its focus is on: Eliminating single use and problematic plastic, Designing for circularity, and Changing systems to support circularity in practice.
While Plastic Reboot works locally to identify solutions to plastic pollution, it is also working globally to create the conditions for scale – building the policies, financing mechanisms and networks that help breakthroughs benefit all.
Together, Plastic Reboot is creating a world where convenient products and packaging are also the safe and sustainable ones.
