The world is approaching a pivotal moment in the effort to #BeatPlasticPollution. After decades of rising plastic pollution, we are now closer than ever to a global agreement that could reshape our future for the environment, our economies, communities and generations to come. Ahead of the #INC5.2 negotiations, #GPAP convened leaders from across the plastics value chain, including governments, businesses, innovators and civil society for a #SolutionsDay, a dedicated event for collaboration focused on practical and scalable action to beat plastic pollution. From inclusive financing and data-driven traceability to robust national planning and local innovation, the solutions are here. What is missing is not ideas, but the collaboration needed to activate them efficiently, inclusively and at scale. Systemic change is only possible when all actors across the plastics lifecycle work together. 🎬 Watch the highlights and hear how global leaders are driving progress toward a future free from plastic pollution. 💡 Explore key takeaways and outcomes: https://lnkd.in/et8vweed

Circular Economy Made Simple The linear model of Take → Make → Waste has fueled growth for decades. But it’s also led us to today’s reality: resource depletion, rising waste, and a climate crisis. The circular economy flips that model. Instead of seeing products as disposable, it sees them as resources that can live many lives. That’s where the 10 R’s come in: 👉 Refuse – say no to unnecessary consumption. 👉 Rethink – design smarter and consume wisely. 👉 Reduce – cut waste before it starts. 👉 Reuse – give products a second chance. 👉 Repair – fix instead of replacing. 👉 Refurbish – restore items to like-new condition. 👉 Remanufacture – rebuild products with existing parts. 👉 Repurpose – find new uses for old things. 👉 Recycle – turn waste into raw materials. 👉 Recovery – extract value from what’s left. Each step increases circularity, creating smarter use of products, longer lifespans, and less strain on the planet. The future belongs to companies and individuals who embrace this mindset—not just because it’s ethical, but because it’s sustainable, profitable, and resilient. Would you rather be part of the problem or the solution?

The 70% of Emissions You’re Probably Not Tracking. Most companies talk about “reducing emissions,” but few truly understand where those emissions come from. That’s where the Scope 1, 2, and 3 framework comes in — the global standard for measuring carbon footprints across the entire value chain: 🔹 Scope 1 – Direct Emissions These are the emissions your company directly controls — from vehicles, boilers, and on-site energy use. 🔹 Scope 2 – Indirect Energy Emissions These come from the electricity, steam, heating, or cooling you purchase. You don’t produce them, but you cause them through energy consumption. 🔹 Scope 3 – Value Chain Emissions This is the big one — often over 70% of a company’s total footprint. It includes everything from business travel and supplier operations to how customers use and dispose of your products. Why It Matters: You can’t manage what you don’t measure. Understanding your full emissions picture — from upstream suppliers to downstream customers — is the first step to real climate action. The journey to Net Zero starts with knowing your impact at every level.

Plastic pollution, #biodiversity loss, and human health are interconnected issues that require coordinated responses across multiple international environmental agreements, including the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm (BRS) Conventions and the future Plastics Treaty, but have also to be aligned with the CBD COP16 decisions and with the Global Biodiversity Framework.

To limit warming to 1.5°C, emissions should be decreasing now and will need to be cut by almost half by 2030.There are tried and tested policy measures that can work to achieve deep emissions reductions and climate resilience if they are scaled up and applied more widely. Political commitment, coordinated policies, international cooperation, ecosystem stewardship and inclusive governance are all important for effective and equitable #ClimateAction.
