Suppliers

Supplier of plastic packaging or packaged goods (“business signatories – suppliers”)are requested to make the following commitments by 2025 to become signatories:

1. Endorse the common vision.

2. Make the following individual commitments, underpinned by a set of common definitions (see Appendix IV of the signatory pack for suppliers):

• Take action to eliminate problematic or unnecessary plastic packaging and/or items[1] by 2025;
• Take action to move from single-use to reuse models or reusable alternatives by 2025;
• 100% of plastic packaging to be reusable, recyclable, or compostable by 2025;
• Set an ambitious 2025 recycled content[2] target across all plastic packaging and items used by 2025.

3. Commit to collaborate and invest to increase the recycling and composting rates for plastics.

4. Report annually and publicly on progress towards meeting these commitments, as well as on estimates of annual weight (tonnes) of plastic packaging  used or provided (the latter will be used for aggregation purposes only, but individual public disclosure is encouraged). Reporting requirements will be kept as straightforward and streamlined as possible
