Alliance
BASF co-founded global Alliance to End Plastic Waste in January 2019
The Alliance to End Plastic Waste (AEPW) is made up of nearly thirty major global companies. They have committed over $1.0 billion with the goal of investing $1.5 billion over the next five years to develop, deploy and bring to scale solutions that will minimize and manage plastic waste and promote post-use solutions. These can be recycling, reuse and repurposing of plastic to keep it out of the environment. BASF supports this initiative as a co-founding member since a collaborative effort of companies, governmental and non-governmental organizations as well as civil society is necessary to address the global challenge of mismanaged plastic waste.
BASF actively supports the four focus areas of AEPW:
- Infrastructure development to collect and manage waste and increase recycling
- Innovation to advance and scale up new technologies that make recycling and recovering plastics easier and create value from post-use plastics
- Education and engagement of governments, businesses, and communities to mobilize action;
- Clean-up of concentrated areas of plastic waste in the environment, particularly the major conduits of waste, such as rivers, that carry land-based waste to the ocean
- SDG 4 (Quality Education)
- SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation)
- SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure)
- SDG 14 (Life below Water)
- SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals)
