in assessing the recyclability of their portfolio this signatory has departed from the 2023 Plastics Initiative Recycling Rate Survey recycling survey findings. This means that care should be taken when interpreting their recyclability percentage and comparing it with those of other signatories. For more information, see section on ‘100% reusable, recyclable or compostable’ when clicking on signatories’ individual reports.

The Global Commitment is an initiative led by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, in collaboration with the UN Environment Programme. Through the Global Commitment, businesses and governments commit to change how we produce, use, and reuse plastic. They will work to eliminate the plastic items we don’t need; innovate so all plastic we do need is designed to be safely reused, recycled, or composted; and circulate everything we use to keep it in the economy and out of the environment.
