CPP exists to eliminate plastic waste by accelerating and scaling solutions that will keep the right plastics in our economy and all plastics out of people, animals, and nature.

The challenge and opportunity

Plastic waste has become one of the greatest environmental crises of our time. Globally, we’re on course to see an additional 80 million metric tons of plastic going into our oceans by 2040. Action is urgent. The question is how.

Plastics are ubiquitous, complex, and completely embedded in our supply chains. A world without them isn’t the answer. Many plastics offer important benefits that people need- keeping our food fresh, delivering medicine safely. The key is to stop these plastics from becoming waste and pollution.

But our plastic crisis isn’t just about what gets thrown away; it’s also about what gets created and how.

Our approach

No single organization or sector can rise to these challenges alone. The good news is, CPP has convened 100+ partners representing key players in the plastics ecosystem, including raw material producers, manufacturers, brands and retailers, recyclers, associations, environmental organizations, government bodies, and academic institutions. We cultivate and harness the collective motivation, commitment, and momentum across the plastics value chain to drive change. Together we’re eliminating plastics we don’t need from our supply chains, redesigning plastics packaging, and increasing the use of recycled plastics.

A future without plastic waste and pollution is possible. At CPP, we’re making real progress to get there—as a whole system.
