YOU SEE IT WE SEE IT

HERE’S OUR PLAN TO ADDRESS PLASTIC WASTE.

What was unthinkable 30 years ago with recycling plastics is achievable today.
Thanks to innovative technology, we’re able to turn billions of pounds of used
plastics into the products that our lives depend on. America’s Plastic Makers®
have united to create a roadmap that defines our upcoming goals for a
circular economy and a plan for achieving them. One that involves all of us.

FOCUS AREAS

Roadmap to Sustainability-05-03-03
Supply Chain Engagement
Coordinate stakeholder efforts more efficiently to realize greater amounts of plastics recycled.
Roadmap to Sustainability-04-03-03
Consumer Engagement
Improve education and outreach to consumers that results in more plastics recycled with less contamination.
Roadmap to Sustainability-03-03
Access to Recycling
Expand access, so those with no access or limited access to plastics recycling are able to recycle.
Roadmap to Sustainability-04-03-03
Collection and Sortation Capability Innovate to create economically sustainable models for collecting and sorting non-bottle plastics and other harder to recycle plastics.
Recycling Capabilities
Invest to create the necessary domestic scale to remanufacture (mechanical and advanced) used plastics into new products.
Roadmap to Sustainability-04-03-06-03
Economics / End Markets
Invest in sortation and end markets to create sustainable and domestic end markets for recycled plastics.
Roadmap to Sustainability-04-03-07-03-03
