The Alliance to End Plastic Waste and the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation (CPCIF) are working together to promote the reduction and elimination of plastic waste in the natural environment in China. The new partnership will bring together the Alliance’s 47 leading global member companies and the strengths of CPCIF to jointly formulate a strategic approach to identify and collaboratively implement local solutions in China to address the plastic waste challenge.
“No one country, company or community can solve the plastic waste challenge on their own. The Alliance believes in the collaboration of governments through public-private partnerships and long term commitment focused on acting locally through projects that address a city’s specific challenges,” said Jacob Duer, president and CEO, Alliance to End Plastic Waste.
A joint Steering Committee will be set up under the partnership to formulate a long-term strategic approach to achieve the following key objectives:
- Bring together technical expertise, global investments and locally-led solutions that will make a positive contribution to improving the management of plastic waste in China
- Identify and assess locally-relevant projects that can reduce and alleviate the waste management and recycling crises that many cities and communities are facing
- Engage, educate and promote sustainable practices in China on issues related to plastic waste management
