As a new plastics deal takes shape, companies must shift their business models now

A successful global plastics deal in 2024 will require businesses to shift their models towards circularity. Companies need to rethink their entire approach, from product design to waste management, by reducing reliance on virgin plastics and adopting closed-loop systems. Collaboration across sectors, innovation, and stronger policies are essential to ensure plastic use aligns with environmental goals. Businesses that integrate sustainability into their operations early will benefit from new market opportunities as regulations evolve.
