We can get to zero plastic waste if we work together paid SAP
SAP touches 77 percent of the world's supply chain, so it made perfect sense for the company to join The, which is managed by WRAP UK, a non-profit committed to create a more sustainable world.
“Keeping materials like plastics in a circular economy does the least amount of damage to the environment,” said Peter Maddox, Director of WRAP UK. “In a world where resources are increasingly scarce, and the population is growing, we need a circular economy to sustain the health of the planet.”Tracking plastics across the economy to achieve 100 percent recycling goals is a monumental task that’s entirely doable with advanced technology.
“We envision a future where it’s possible to see where manufacturers are shipping plastic worldwide, when it’s purchased and by whom, where it’s collected at end of life, and if and how it’s recycled or reused,” said Maddox. “We are excited to work with SAP to see if we can access this data so our members can use it quickly to track and transform their sustainability performance. There’s a huge amount of enthusiasm and desire to come together and solve the systemic plastics problem.
“Plastic packaging plays an important role ensuring the goods people receive are delivered safely and securely,” said Maddox. “This partnership is a fantastic alignment between businesses, people who are buying their products and governments.” Although The UK Plastics Pact is focused on reducing plastic waste within the UK packaging sector by 2025, Maddox emphasized the global impact.
“Businesses need to use the right polymers, making packaging easily recyclable and reusable,” said Maddox. “When consumers finish drinking from a plastic bottle, it should be recycled into high-quality materials that can go back into the economy. This creates jobs and drives innovation.”
