RT null T1 Assessing the Contribution of Plastic Credit Schemes to Reducing Plastics Pollution and Improving Recycling: Working Paper - Executive Summary A1 United Nations Environment Programme, A1 International Solid Waste Association, K1 recycling K1 plastic waste K1 plastic K1 marine pollution K1 pollution control YR 2022 FD 2022 LK https://wedocs.unep.org/handle/20.500.11822/42469 UL https://wedocs.unep.org/handle/20.500.11822/42469 NO This report seeks to provide a picture of the current plastic credits mechanism as well as recommendations for it to be an effective tool in supporting plastic circularity – by increasing the amount of plastic waste that is recycled and reducing the amount that enters the waste stream. Plastic credits are financial-institutional instruments that incentivise recovery or dis-incentivise pollution and pay for offsetting its impacts. DS UN Environment Document Repository RD Sep 20, 2026
