Alliance to End Plastic Waste publishes its 2025 progress report and highlights achievements under the Strategy 2030
The Alliance to End Plastic Waste has released its 2025 Progress Report, titled 'Strategy in Action,' marking the first year of implementation of its Strategy 2030. The alliance reported reducing uncontrolled plastic waste by 138,162 tons and converting another 165,317 tons into value during 2025 alone. Since its founding in 2019, it has reduced a total of 378,147 tons of uncontrolled plastic waste and created value from 418,529 tons. The alliance also mobilized $641 million USD in funding commitments from third parties and impact investors since its inception. It expanded country programs across five priority markets as well as thematic initiatives in Europe and North America. In Indonesia, the organization launched a pilot integrated waste management project in Malang that aims to improve source separation, collection, sorting, and connections with local recyclers. The alliance is shifting from smaller standalone projects toward large-scale, integrated country- and theme-based programs where it can have the greatest impact. It emphasizes collaboration across sectors to address systemic barriers for a circular economy and scale solutions.
