The Circulate Initiative launches Plastics Circularity Investment Tracker to tackle ocean pollution

The Circulate Initiative, a non-profit organization, has released the Plastics Circularity Investment Tracker, enabling decision-makers to understand investments into plastics circularity better. The tracker is dedicated to solving ocean plastic pollution.

Despite the potential of a circular economy to curb the plastic pollution crisis, The Circulate Initiative notes gaps in financing and action remain. It launched the tracker to address this financing knowledge gap by consolidating, analyzing and reporting on investment trends in plastics circularity across emerging markets.

“Investment of private capital into plastics circularity is critically needed to tackle the global plastic pollution challenge and to build inclusive, circular economies,” Umesh Madhavan, research director at The Circulate Initiative, tells PackagingInsights.
