dc.descriptionThis report presents progress under a global commitment to transform plastic packaging systems through a circular economy approach. It compiles self-reported data from businesses and governments covering the period 2018–2019, focusing on elimination of problematic plastics, expansion of reuse models, and improvement of recyclability. The scope includes packaging design, material composition, recycling systems, and use of post-consumer recycled content. Methods involve portfolio assessments, development of recyclability guidelines, and tracking quantitative indicators against 2025 targets. Findings show incremental progress, including increased recycled content and innovation in mono-material packaging, alongside continued challenges such as limited reuse implementation, regulatory constraints, and gaps in achieving full recyclability and reduction targets.en
