The U.S. Plastics Pact (USPP) is a collaborative forum where the entire plastics value chain—brands, retailers, recyclers, resin producers, converters, government agencies, policymakers, and NGOs—comes together to research, pilot, and lay the groundwork for systems-level solutions that can scale in the real world.
Whether helping our members meet ambitious voluntary commitments or navigating compliance and market shifts, we turn shared challenges into shared solutions—reducing cost and risk while shaping the future of sustainable plastic packaging.
United Toward a Common Mission & Vision
The U.S. Plastics Pact’s Mission is to facilitate the transition to a circular economy for plastic packaging in the U.S. by bringing together resources and expertise across the entire plastics value chain. Engaging stakeholders in concert toward the same targets will initiate a profound paradigm shift involving rethinking and innovating the life cycle of materials to help close the loop on plastics.
Our Vision is a world where plastics are valued and kept in the economy and out of the environment. Our commitment to this Vision guides the actions we take to create systemic change that protects our planet and our quality of life, molding a more sustainable future for plastics packaging in the U.S.
