17 Mar 2022 --- The Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP) and the World Economic Forum’s Global Plastic Action Partnership (GPAP) have announced a formal partnership agreement to address the global issue of plastic waste. The partners will support the Plastics Pacts Network and Global Plastic Action Partnerships around the world. The organizations plan to combine their knowledge, experience and resources to jointly tackle plastic pollution. Their goal is to double both their impact and reach. WRAP says it shares the same goals as GPAP and combining different expertise will enable the parties to find a common approach to addressing plastic pollution. The two organizations are now working with local partners in Ghana, India, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, South Africa, Indonesia and Vietnam and plan to further expand their work worldwide.
