The circular economy is gaining growing attention as a potential way for our society to increase prosperity, while reducing demands on finite raw materials and minimizing negative externalities. Such a transition requires a systemic approach, which will leverage improvements to the existing model as well as develop new collaboration mechanisms. In the private sector companies face a rapidly increasing challenge, and opportunity, to grow their businesses and create value amidst volatile and scarce supply of natural resources and environmental concerns, driving up prices and uncertainty. The circular economy business model will leverage the decoupling of growth from scarce resource use, allowing economic development within natural resource limits and allowing companies to innovate to enable customers and users to do ‘more with less’. One of the main challenges of the circular economy transition is the implementation of circular strategies in the single-use Plastics industry. The New Plastics Economy aims to overcome the limitations of today’s incremental improvements and fragmented initiatives, to create a shared sense of direction, to spark a wave of innovation and to move the plastics value chain into a positive spiral of value capture, stronger economics, and better environmental outcomes. The challenges and opportunities posed by the current plastics system demand fundamental change in which research and innovation (R&I), enabled and reinforced by policymaking, play a crucial role. While plastics bring benefits as a functional material, the current system has significant drawbacks, including economic loss of material value and environmental damage. It has become evident that the plastics economy needs to change from a system that produces waste by design to one that preserves the value and benefits of plastics. This can be achieved by systemic change initiatives powered by R&I and enabled through policymaking is the only long term solution.
