Mobilizing business
leadership
We worked closely with our community of more
than 300 business partners, primarily from the agri-
food, consumer goods, retail, petrochemical and
waste-management sectors, while expanding our
network into new industries and regions. Interest
in GPAP’s work has grown across sectors such as
automotive, healthcare, electronics, construction
and tourism, which increasingly recognize the
negative impact of plastic pollution on economic
resilience and the need for solutions throughout the
value chain to support sustainable growth.
Through close cooperation with industry leaders,
GPAP has identified four main priorities in creating
new opportunities for private-sector collaboration.
These include (1) public–private collaboration around
global frameworks such as the Global Plastics Treaty
and the Global Framework on Chemicals, as well as regional and national approaches such as extended
producer responsibility schemes; (2) technological
innovation and the use of digital and AI solutions
to improve efficiency and transparency throughout
the plastics value chain; (3) chemical safety and
health, with opportunities to collaborate with GPAP’s
network of 25 National Plastic Action Partnerships to
support chemicals management; and (4) financing
mechanisms unleashing the full potential of innovative
and blended finance to enable green growth.
GPAP also strengthened its position as a global
convener, bringing together business leaders at
major international gatherings, including a CEO
dialogue during the World Economic Forum Annual
Meeting 2025 in Davos and multiple sessions
during Global Plastics Treaty negotiations to
mobilize private-sector solutions. GPAP took a significant step in deepening
collaboration with the private sector
to advance plastics circularity and
encourage resilience with technology.
We’ve already reduced virgin plastic use by 33% from a 2018
baseline, and we aim to go further by 2030. It can be done – and
we would welcome treaty mechanisms that help the industry more.

As a company, we see sustainability as a responsibility.
We also see opportunity for our future business.
