11、 COMMITMENT 2024 PROGRESS REPORT 5PERSPECTIVE ON PROGRESS1 The collective ambition of the Global Commitment signatories has driven substantial progress.Over the six years since the Global Commitment launched,signatories have significantly outperformed their peers in tackling plastic waste.This shows

12、 that substantial change is possible and that businesses who havent signed up can do,on average,much more than they are doing today.Business signatories have outperformed the market in all key progress metrics where comparable data exist,for example:Brand and retail signatories have reduced their vi

13、rgin plastics use by 3%since 2018,1,2 while the plastic packaging market as a whole has increased virgin plastic use by 8%over that same time period.3 Signatories have significantly reduced their use of some packaging items and materials commonly identified as problematic or unnecessary.Since 2020,t

14、he top quartile of brand and retail signatories have completely eliminated their use of polyvinyl chloride(PVC)and expanded polystyrene(EPS)/extruded polystyrene(XPS)in business-to-consumer packaging for FMCGs,4 compared with a global market 6%increase and 4%reduction respectively.Brand and retail s

15、ignatories almost tripled the share of post-consumer recycled(PCR)content in their plastic packaging,increasing it by 9 percentage points to 14%in 2023,compared to a 1 percentage point increase for the market as a whole.Global Commitment business signatories strong collective growth in recycled plas

16、tics use,by nearly 2 million tonnes per annum,combined with keeping the overall growth in plastic packaging use below market average,has resulted in avoiding 3.2 million tonnes of virgin plastics production in 2023 equivalent to more than the UKs annual plastic packaging use.The total cumulative imp

17、act since 2018 is 9.6 million tonnes of virgin plastics production avoided compared to business as usual.The Global Commitment business signatories have collectively had a substantial impact on fossil fuel consumption and climate.The increase in recycled content alone keeps one barrel of oil in the

18、ground every two seconds,or more than 23 million barrels of oil a year.5 It also avoids 3.4 million tonnes of CO2 per year equivalent to eliminating the carbon emissions of a city of nearly 750,000 people.6 Government signatories have also driven progress by introducing mandatory targets,such as tho

19、se intended to stimulate the demand for recycled plastics,and implementing bans on problematic items.They have also increased the volumes of plastic collected,sorted,and recycled by investing in infrastructure,by promoting collection,sorting,and reuse and/or recycling schemes(e.g.deposit return sche

20、mes),and by establishing or revising Extended Producer Responsibility(EPR)schemes.The Global Commitment has provided unprecedented transparency on plastic usage and progress towards targets.The Global Commitments framework has provided standardised metrics and definitions across the plastic packagin

21、g industry,as well as formalised annual reporting.These have enabled both greater progress on effective solutions and a fuller understanding of the hurdles to scaling those solutions.The Global Commitment is the largest-scale initiative of its kind.Businesses representing around 20%of all plastic pa

22、ckaging produced globally have signed up and have now been reporting annually for six years.Over that time,signatories data systems have continued to improve and as signatories data quality gets better,reporting accuracy continues to improve.The reach of the Global Commitment goes far beyond its sig

23、natories,with its metrics and definitions being deployed,for example,to thousands of organisations in CDPs plastic packaging disclosure.The Global Commitment also laid key foundations for the Business Coalition for a Global Plastics Treaty and 13 national and regional Plastics Pacts are working towa

24、rds the same vision and aligned targets.This years data7 shows continued progress by signatories on virgin plastic production,PCR content,and recyclability.Signatories decreased their total and virgin plastic packaging weight,with the virgin weight decrease being the greatest yearly reduction since

25、2018.For the sixth consecutive year,signatories continued to increase their use of PCR content.Between 2022 and 2023,signatories recyclability in practice and at scale went up 4 percentage points,mostly because the packaging category PP other rigids(pots,tubes,cups,etc.)is now recognised as recyclab

28、emands bold action.With a large part of the plastic packaging industry not yet taking action,and signatories likely to miss key 2025 targets,the world is off track to eliminate plastic waste and pollution.There are now more single-use plastics than ever before.The vast majority of plastic is fossil-

29、fuel derived,and greenhouse gas emissions from plastic production are expected to more than double by 2060.9 Currently,80%of the global plastic packaging market is not covered by the Global Commitment and performing,on average,much worse than the 20%which are participating.Just as it is important to

30、 acknowledge the progress made in the Global Commitment,it is important to acknowledge that its signatories will not realise all of their ambitions by 2025.Achieving 100%reusable,recyclable,or compostable plastic packaging has proved particularly challenging,requiring the most collaboration across t

31、he value chain.While a third of signatories are already on track to achieve their virgin plastic reduction target,accelerating virgin plastic reduction for the whole group will require complementing a continued increase in PCR content with an extensive reduction in total plastic packaging use.Some c

32、ompanies have already adjusted their targets based on actual progress,such as extending the ambition to reach 100%recyclable to 2030 instead of 2025,reflecting the difficulties in tackling key hurdles.This report reflects the 2025 targets that businesses signed up to as part of the Global Commitment

33、.The key hurdles are discussed in the following section.Data and learnings from the last six years show where more collective action is needed.The transparency and structure the Global Commitment created points to three main,pivotal hurdles standing in the way of further progress:(1)scaling reuse,(2

34、)flexible plastic packaging in high-leakage countries,and (3)lack of infrastructure to collect and circulate packaging.A combination of bold business and government action will be needed to overcome these hurdles.Businesses can drive progress on overcoming each hurdle:Reuse Businesses should scale r

35、efill solutions and concentrate products,collaborate at scale on return models,and advocate for reuse policy in the key markets in which they operate;Flexible packaging Businesses should continue exploring alternative solutions for flexible plastic packaging in high-leakage markets where feasible,in

36、novate where viable alternative solutions do not yet exist,and partner with governments and other stakeholders to ensure the flexible packaging that is still used is collected and circulated;Infrastructure Businesses should support and accelerate infrastructure improvements by,for example,actively a

37、dvocating for well-designed,mandatory,and fee-based EPR schemes,and do so consistently across geographies,including at the international level through the Business Coalition for a Global Plastics Treaty.Alongside business action,strong policy measures will be crucial to tackling these three key hurd

38、les.Reuse Policies such as timebound,sectorial reuse targets;harmonised reuse definitions,metrics,and standards;measures to facilitate the development of shared infrastructure;and economic measures that incentivise reuse(e.g.EPR,taxes,subsidies)can play a major role in mobilising this transition.Fle

39、xible packaging The lack of alignment on which of the potential solutions alternative delivery models,material substitution,recycling will be accepted across the industry and in policy,is a key hurdle for making the major investments these solutions require.Policymakers can provide direction and sup

40、porting conditions.They can clarify what outcomes will be incentivised and how the enabling systems for those solutions will be developed together with industry.Infrastructure EPR remains a particularly high-priority policy measure around the world.It is crucial for EPR schemes to be well-designed a

41、nd inclusive.Governments can also implement measures to incentivise or mandate better design(including reduction,reuse,and recycling);measures to mobilise financing and investments in waste management infrastructure;and set targets and standards for the collection,sorting,reuse,and recycling of all

43、ead is clear:binding global policy and accelerated business action are both essential to get the job done.Global policy is necessary:with 80%of the global plastic packaging market not covered by the Global Commitment and performing,on average,much worse than the 20%who are participating,global polic

44、y is crucial to move 100%of the market towards solutions.Over the past six years,Global Commitment business signatories have made real progress,despite not meeting all the targets.If the entire plastic packaging market had followed the example of the signatory group with regards to virgin plastic re

45、duction,virgin plastic production would be 10%,10 or 35 million tonnes,lower than it is today.Global policy can create conditions to help the leading 20%overcome the key hurdles to meeting their targets while simultaneously moving towards industry-wide participation,allowing proven solutions to scal

46、e much faster.The international,legally binding instrument on plastic pollution currently being negotiated presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to address plastic pollution at a global level.By putting in place global rules and measures,the international,legally binding instrument can ensure

47、that all countries act in concert to unlock circular economy solutions and tackle plastic waste and pollution.Scaling reuse,tackling flexible plastic packaging waste,and establishing infrastructure require a globally coordinated approach to create the system and market conditions for value chain coo

48、peration,infrastructure harmonisation,and economic viability.The fastest way forward is through an ambition loop in which government policy and business action mutually reinforce each other.Regulation will not solve everything,given the highly complex nature of plastic and packaging waste.Voluntary

49、business action will continue to play a crucial role in innovating,showing whats possible,and creating demand for solutions.Waiting for regulation cannot be an excuse for inaction and companies leading the way will reap the rewards.Equally,businesses can play an active role in advocating for regulat

50、ion that will enable change.We have learnt from the last six years that a concerted effort like the Global Commitment can help catalyse the ambition loop needed to tackle plastic waste and pollution.Looking ahead,the Global Commitment will continue to serve as a key force in driving voluntary action

67、 in other years(4%between 2023 and 2022),driven by a continued increase in PCR and a decrease in total plastic used due to market conditions.Virgin plastic packaging demand decreased globally by 3%in 2023,driven by inflation and compounded by overstocking in 2022.12 Collectively,brand and retail sig

68、natories have reduced their virgin plastics use since 2018 by 3%,performing better than the plastic packaging market as a whole,which has increased virgin plastic use by 8%over that same time.13 Although brand and retail signatories total plastic packaging use has decreased this year,it has increase

69、d since 2018 by 7%.PCR remains the key driver of virgin plastic packaging reduction.The majority of brand,retail,and packaging producer signatories(60%)reduced their virgin plastic use between 2018 and 2023,but only 32%of signatories with a virgin plastic reduction target have either achieved or are

70、 on track to meet their target.While significant progress has been made,accelerating virgin plastic reduction will require complementing a continued increase in PCR content with an extensive reduction in total plastic packaging use.FIGURE 4*Percentage and number of brand and retail signatories in ea

121、Department(Uruguay)officially joined the Global Commitment.With concrete policy efforts such as bans on plastic packaging types that are most commonly identified as problematic or unnecessary,economic incentives,changes to public procurement,and the establishment of EPR schemes,governments are worki

122、ng alongside businesses to maintain momentum for lasting solutions to the plastic pollution crisis.This section provides insights from the 16 governments that reported in 2024.Significant progress is being made by governments to eliminate problematic and unnecessary plastic packaging.63%of reporting

123、 governments established or revised economic incentives(e.g.subsidies,funding schemes to encourage innovation and research into alternative materials or designs)or disincentives(e.g.tax,charges)while 63%have introduced legal measures to drive the elimination of problematic packaging formats.Scotland

124、 has rolled out economic incentives to promote reusable alternatives and discourage the use of single-use beverage cups.In the Netherlands,a surcharge has been applied for take-away single-use food packaging since 1 July 2023.To stimulate the demand for recycled plastics,75%of governments reporting

125、in 2024 have set quantitative targets to achieve a minimum threshold of recycled content in specific packaging(e.g.all PET bottles should contain at least 25%recycled plastic by 2025).A quarter of reporting governments have also introduced economic incentives or disincentives,such as the UKs Plastic

126、 Packaging Tax,22 on packaging that does not contain at least 30%of recycled plastic or stimulated demand for products containing recycled plastics through public procurement.In the City of Ljubljana,public procurement officials at the public water and waste management company,JP VOKA SNAGA,can only

202、 finite and renewable sources)in packaging.Given the need for reduction in the overall amount of plastic packaging,as well as the amount of virgin plastic in packaging,virgin reduction targets are expected to be underpinned by efforts on reuse and elimination,and not exclusively based on increasing

203、recycled content.X Virgin fossil-based plastic in packaging Targets to reduce virgin fossil-based plastic include efforts to increase renewable content as well as those on recycled content and reducing plastic packaging volumes overall.These types of targets are not accepted to avoid shifting focus

204、from efforts on overall reduction delivered through elimination and reuse by incorporating an overly broad set of contributing measures.X Reduction of packaging made from other materials and other products There is a need to reduce overall packaging volumes,regardless of material.However,the focus o

205、f the Global Commitment is specifically on plastic packaging.How is the reduction calculated?Absolute reduction To build an economy that can thrive long term,there is a need for absolute not relative decoupling from fossil fuels,and an absolute reduction in the negative impacts on the worlds natural

206、 systems.As a result,reduction targets in the Global Commitment must be calculated in absolute terms against the total amount of plastic packaging(or virgin plastic in packaging)in the baseline year.X Relative reduction Reduction targets measured relative to sales(e.g.intensity per dollar of revenue

207、 or units sold),or a future estimated scenario(e.g.versus a projected total for a year under BAU)or any other relative benchmark are not accepted.Dependent on levels of actual or assumed organic growth,these types of targets can result in widely varying levels of actual reduction and,in some cases,g

208、rowth in absolute levels of plastic packaging or virgin plastic use.What baseline is used?Published total weight for a recent year(2017 or later)Reduction should be calculated against a recent,historical base year for which the total weight of plastic packaging has been calculated.This baseline weig

209、ht must be reported publicly to ensure transparent measurement of progress,and will be used to show how much progress has been made against targets through annual progress reporting as part of the Global Commitment.X Baselines that arent published Transparency on the baseline weight is critical to m

210、easure progress against the target set,and as such ensure credibility of the commitment.X Baselines for any year before 2017 This is aimed at ensuring similar timelines across signatories and focusing measurement on recent efforts and progress achieved since the launch of the Global Commitment,in li

211、ne with other commitments made.What is the timeline for achievement?2025 Reduction targets must be set to be delivered by 31 December 2025.This reflects the need to start acting now,and is aligned with all other commitments signatories have made as part of the Global Commitment.X Any timeline beyond

212、 2025 While some signatories may have separately set 2030 targets and communicated these elsewhere,the Global Commitment requires that at least an intermediary 2025 milestone is set.In 2020,it became mandatory for brand and retail signatories to set targets to reduce total plastic packaging or use o

213、f virgin plastic in packaging by 2025.Plastic packaging reduction targets can manifest in a variety of ways.Below is an overview of different types of reduction targets that can be set,and the specific requirements for reduction targets to be accepted within the Global Commitment,aimed at maximising
