    Insights for sustainable plastic use

    Andrew Russell, DirectorPDP Plastic Disclosure Project

    PDP asks the business world to treat its plastic footprint as seriously as it does other valuable resources

    to create a world in which plastic use adds value without negatively impacting the environment.

    STAKEHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS

  • WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

  • The Plastic Disclosure Project, an initiative of

    the global not-for-profit NGO Ocean Recovery

    Alliance, with the assistance of the United

    Nations Environment Programme, has

    commissioned the study Valuing Plastic" by

    Trucost to drive greater understanding and

    management of the risks and opportunities

    associated with the use of plastics in the

    consumer goods sector.

  • AIMS OF THE RESEARCH

    Identify the main impacts of plastic use within 16 consumer goods sectors.

    Map the plastic supply chain upstream and downstream from raw material

    extraction, manufacturing and use to the end of its life.

    Assess the plastic-related natural capital cost and intensity of the largest

    publicly-listed companies per sector, 100 in total.

    Estimate the impact of companies plastic use based on disclosure from public

    sources and data modelling in the absence of company disclosure.

    Highlight the natural capital benefits of more sustainable use of plastic, such as

    recycling.

    Present three case studies of business excellence in plastic disclosure and

    management.

    Provide recommendations for companies.

  • MICROPLASTICS

    Lush Cosmetics was PDPs first discloser. Already known for:

    All-natural, hand-made products

    We prefer naked minimal packaging

    Take back program for black pots

    Customer awareness campaigns, for shark fin, recycling, marine litter, etc.

    Conducting the PDP disclosure helped Lush recognize the full extent and risk

    associated with their microplastic use, and took proactive action.

  • INNOVATIVE DESIGNS

    Now, Method also runs beach

    clean-up programmes in

    Hawaii and makes Ocean

    Plastic bottles to raise

    awareness for the marine

    litter issue.

    Methods cleaning products are already known for their green chemistry. In

    addition, they have always tried to have high %PCR plastics in their packaging and

    continually work to improve recyclability (e.g. plungers).

    .as a small soap company, we know we cant clean up the

    worlds oceans. But we can raise awareness about the issue and

    use our business to demonstrate smart ways of using and reusing

    the plastics that are already on the planet. We think the best way to

    do that is by proving that solutions exist, even at a small scale.
