UK said to be fourth highest private investor in plastic circularity

The Circulate Initiative is a non-profit organisation that aims to solve the ocean plastic pollution issue in emerging markets.

It has launched a series of country factsheets highlighting the current state of investments that have made to tackle plastic pollution in 50 countries. These have been released following the fourth session of the International Negotiating Committee to discuss the Global Plastic Treaty.

The charity reported that the US topped the list for private capital investments, having reportedly invested $64.8 billion (£51.7 billion) in plastics circularity with France and Canada rounding out the top three.
