“The New Plastics Economy Global Commitment”
#TheNewPlasticsEconomyGlobalCommitment #signatory #EllenMacArthurFoundation
In 2020 Coster became a signatory of “The New Plastics Economy Global Commitment” which was launched by Ellen MacArthur Foundation in collaboration with UN Environment Programme. This foundation is a UK-based charity, committed to the creation of a circular economy that tackles some of the biggest challenges of our time, such waste, pollution and climate change. In a circular economy nothing becomes waste and everything has value, creating benefits for society, the environment and the economy.
Coster joined the Global Commitment to challenge the current ‘take, make, waste’ extractive industrial model by redesigning products and processes to eliminate the plastic we don’t need, to innovate so that all plastic we do need is 100% reusable, recyclable, to circulate all the plastic we use and to switch to renewable energy sources.
