Case Studies from Asia: City-Level Learnings for the Global Plastic Pollution Treaty

Cities are the ultimate implementer of practical solutions for plastic waste management, and exert considerable influence on waste strategies. Yet, they often lack resources and authority to effectively address challenges related to plastic design, production, reuse, refill, and recycling.

This report, Case Studies from Asia: City-level Learnings for the Global Plastic Pollution Treaty, completed in collaboration with Accenture, lays out 17 city-level interventions across Asia to provide negotiators with policy recommendations derived from city-level interventions, particularly global bans and requirements to achieve circular design.
