Tackling flexible plastic packaging waste and pollution is essential to solving plastic pollution. The Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s decade of work on this challenge, culminating in the 2030 Plastics Agenda for Business, identifies it as one of three key systemic barriers to realising a circular economy and curbing plastic pollution. Addressing this is a top priority for many industry players.
This report focuses on small-format flexible packaging in markets with high leakage rates, where the impact of flexible plastic packaging is most acute and the opportunity most significant.
Paper-based flexible packaging has the potential to help tackle one of the most challenging sources of plastic packaging pollution: small-format flexible packaging in the market with high leakage rates.
