Delighted to be joining @minderoo this week as Director of its Plastics Initiative as this groundbreaking report is launched. Quite shocked to read that we have made so little progress on a global scale. Looking forward to working with a great team to do something about it.
It’s time to turn off the tap on new fossil fuel plastic production.
Our groundbreaking Plastic Waste Makers Index reveals the plastic-waste crisis is worsening and highlights the critical action that is needed.

Great to be working with @Hellmanns on this important research.
We won't fix climate change if we don't fix the global food system, and that includes tackling food waste from our homes.
@LFHW_UK can help us all to stop wasting food and mitigate climate change.

Today @WRAP_UK & @HellmannsUK have released ground-breaking research into #food #loss & #waste across the #UK, #US, #Canada and #Australia as part of @UN #IDAFLW. Read on for key findings from the research 1/5👇@UNEP @UNEP_Europe @UnileverUKI

Listen to @MarcusGover discuss the future design of recyclable plastics and the role that businesses play in curbing plastic usage.
No one wants to see plastics end up in the environment.

The emissions generated by the unsustainable way we consume food and goods account for almost half of global emissions.
These 7 strategies could save nearly 1bn tonnes of CO2eq a year, just from action by G7 states, by 2030.

Today we release a new report which shows #G7 nations are overlooking up to two billion tonnes of GHG emissions generated by the unsustainable way we produce and consume food and goods.

Coordinated business input is imperative if we are to achieve a treaty which can put an end to the plastic pollution crisis and develop a circular economy for plastics.
We welcome and support this announcement: wrap.org.uk/media-centre/pre…

Alongside our partners @WorldResources and @Hellmanns, today at #ClimateWeekNYC we launched a powerful new guide to help govts and businesses tackle household #FoodWaste. The guide has been developed by Champions 12.3 members. 1/2
Great day yesterday at the opening ceremony of #ClimateWeekNYC. Inspiring speakers all committed to urgent climate action.
Big focus on energy decarbonisation but a bit quiet on the part tackling resource consumption plays. We need to talk about #consumption. @WRAP_UK

In light of the recent sad news of the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth ll, we will be postponing Recycle Week 2022 (19-25 September).
We are working with stakeholders to draw up a new date which we will communicate shortly.
