Solutions to tackle plastic pollution are within reach so we can avoid a future in which there are more plastic than fish in our oceans. Sir David Attenborough supports a circular economy for plastic, in which we eliminate the plastic we don’t need, innovate so all the plastic we do need is designed to be safely reused, recycled, or composted and circulate everything we use so the material stays in the economy and never becomes waste or pollution.

A circular economy for the five materials we use the most - steel, cement, aluminium, plastics, and food - would eliminate the equivalent of all the emissions from today’s transport sector by 2050.

A circular economy for the five materials we use the most - steel, cement, aluminium, plastics, and food - would eliminate the equivalent of all the emissions from today’s transport sector by 2050. That’s 9.3 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent per year by 2050. Our founder Dame Ellen MacArthur explains why the circular economy is key to addressing climate change and to building a more resilient economy that doesn’t depend on the use of finite resources. ------ Thank you for watching this video.

“We need to raise our level of ambition and match it with bold and urgent action.” - Dame Ellen MacArthur In July 2020, The Pew Charitable Trusts and SYSTEMIQ released Breaking the Plastic Wave:

“We need to raise our level of ambition and match it with bold and urgent action.” - Dame Ellen MacArthur In July 2020, The Pew Charitable Trusts and SYSTEMIQ released Breaking the Plastic Wave: A Comprehensive Assessment of Pathways Towards Stopping Ocean Plastic Pollution, one of the most analytically robust studies ever produced on ocean plastics. Thought partners were the University of Oxford, University of Leeds, Common Seas, and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. Breaking the Plastic Wave shows that by 2040, if we fail to act, the volume of plastic on the market will double, the annual volume of plastic entering the ocean will almost triple, and ocean plastic stocks will quadruple. This is in line with The Ellen MacArthur Foundation's 2016 analysis, which revealed that in 2050 there could be more plastic than fish in the ocean. The study also confirms that a circular economy for plastic is the only way to address plastic waste and pollution at the source. This is a vision that already unites 850+ organisations through the New Plastics Economy Global Commitment and the Plastics Pact network.
