Investors Must Shift Priorities to Effectively Tackle Plastic Pollution

The Circulate Initiative — a non-profit organization dedicated to solving the ocean plastic pollution challenge in emerging markets — is calling for greater investment into tackling plastic pollution.

 

New data, from the third edition of the Circulate Initiative’s Plastics Circularity Investment Tracker, reveal an average of US$32 billion a year of private investment went to plastics circularity solutions between 2018 and 2023 — far below the US$1 trillion needed.
