Keeping plastics in the economy and out of THE ocean
NextWave Members are Diving Deep to Keep Plastics from Entering the Ocean
NextWave Plastics is a member-led, collaborative and open-source initiative of leading multinational companies convened by The Circulate Initiative and co-founded and amplified by Lonely Whale. Since 2017, NextWave members have collectively diverted 20,479 metric tonnes of plastic — the equivalent of 2.27 billion single-use plastic water bottles — from entering the waste stream, which is over 80% of its goal of diverting 25,000 metric tons by 2025 in alignment with UN SDG 14.1.
NextWave Plastics aims to rewrite the rules of business as usual, combatting the projections that estimate annual ocean plastic waste will quadruple by 2040.
