The Ellen MacArthur Foundation and UN Environment Programme (UNEP) have released the New Plastics Economy Global Commitment Progress report for 2020.
The 2020 Progress Report identifies efforts made so far in the incorporation of recycled content in plastic packaging, and the phasing out of undesirable items such as undetectable carbon black pigments and single-use plastic bags and straws.
First released in 2019, the new report provides updates from signatories to the Commitment towards their 2025 targets towards creating a circular economy for plastics.
