Solutions for change

The Alliance to End Plastic Waste Solution Model playbooks document comprehensive and integrated solutions to enable plastic circularity

Solution Models are central to our mission

Our projects show that tackling plastic waste through system-based solutions creates widespread benefits for all stakeholders. Each project, modelled on proven solutions, delivers environmental and social benefits to local communities, generates positive returns for funders, and contributes to advancing global industry knowledge.

Breaking the barriers to circularity

The pathway to circularity is filled with many gaps and barriers. Yet, these barriers also present us with the opportunity to lay the groundwork for circularity.

We collaborate with our network of partners to develop, strengthen, replicate, and scale Solution Models

Through our innovative projects around the world, we develop practical and impactful solutions to the plastic waste problem that can be deployed at scale. Our Solution Models - blueprints documenting these solutions – are designed to be replicated, scaled, and implemented with the specific needs of local communities in mind.

Our detailed whitepaper explains the framework that guides our Solution Models.
