The Alliance to End Plastic Waste is currently working to implement more than a dozen initiatives worldwide. The group's leader recently explained key details, as well as how COVID-19 has impacted progress. Jacob Duer, president and CEO of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste, in mid-May told Resource Recycling his group has approved 14 projects so far. Backed by major packaging stakeholders, the Alliance to End Plastic Waste now has involvement in France, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, the U.S. and Vietnam. Those initiatives have been selected from roughly 600 applications that have been submitted over the last 15 months. Duer also noted the organization now has 47 companies that have committed a total of $1 billion to plastic waste mitigation efforts. When the Alliance to End Plastic Waste launched in early 2019, it did so with 25 backers. The group is looking to continue to grow membership and reach $1.5 billion in commitments.
