Tackling the plastics crisis via blended finance with Circulate Capital & the Circulate Initiative

The global plastics industry poses a significant environmental challenge, contributing over a billion tons of greenhouse gases with projections indicating a potential doubling by 2060. Additionally, less than 10% of plastics are currently recycled. To address this issue, Circulate Capital is spearheading a billion-dollar investment initiative to promote circular solutions, with support from The Circulate Initiative, which conducts research and facilitates public and private investment. By mobilizing diverse investors, including governments and Fortune 100 companies, this blended finance approach aims to drive systemic change and curb plastic waste and emissions.
