An estimated US$1.2 trillion is needed globally to reduce plastic leakage to the ocean by around 80% by 2040.
However, there is limited transparency around the financing of plastics circularity solutions and a lack of data or resources on investment activity to assess the investment opportunity. Governments, investors, multilateral organizations, and other stakeholders committed to solving the global plastic pollution crisis need to have a clear view of capital being deployed to ensure funding barriers to circularity can be addressed.
An industry-first, The Circulate Initiative’s Plastics Circularity Investment Tracker will enable key decision-makers to view the current investment landscape into plastics circularity and understand the extent of the financing gap.
Leveraging deal-level information on private investments since 2018, the Investment Tracker provides unique insights into plastics circularity investments.
