World Not Poised to Meet MacArthur Foundation Global Commitment 2025 Goal

Global efforts show progress on plastic pollution is possible – but the world remains off track to meet the necessary mark.

Global Commitment 2023 Report[85]

Over the last five years, the Global Commitment, initiated by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation in conjunction with the UN Environment Programme, has made strides in tackling the issue of plastic pollution, but the world remains off track with 2025 goals.

While the commitment has garnered the support of over 1,000 organizations, representing a substantial portion of the world's plastic packaging industry, it is imperative to note that a considerable portion of the industry has yet to take definitive action in this domain.

The “Global Commitment Five Years In” report emphasizes that despite the progress made, the world is not currently on track to eradicate plastic waste and pollution. The business signatories are anticipated to fall short of the critical 2025 targets set by the commitment.
