The Global Commitment 2022 Progress Report

The Global Commitment, led by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, and the UN Environment Programme, has united more than 500 organisations behind a common vision of a circular economy for plastics.

Driven by the goal of tackling plastic pollution at its source, companies representing 20% of all plastic packaging produced globally have committed to ambitious 2025 targets to help realise that common vision. This fourth annual progress report looks at how these signatories are faring against these targets.

In light of these results, we are calling on businesses to accelerate action - particularly around reuse, flexible packaging, and decoupling business growth from packaging use.
We are also calling on governments to take immediate action to accelerate progress, and to promote a high ambition level in the upcoming negotiations for a legally binding instrument on plastic pollution.
