Driving and sharing circular solutions to reduce plastic waste

Plastic Smart Cities support urban centres, coastal areas, and tourism hotspots to co-create solutions that prevent plastic from leaking into nature—delivering real change through circular systems and inclusive action. Since 2018, we’ve championed pilot solutions and provided resources to help take bold action to stop plastic pollution.
