Through our unique National Plastic Action Partnership (NPAP) model, we work at the local level to bring together policymakers, business leaders and civil society organizations to create an aligned approach to accelerating plastic pollution action.
We have achieved our goal of establishing 25 national partnerships by 2025, making GPAP the world’s largest initiative combatting plastic pollution.
GPAP is now set to drive change for over 1.5 billion people worldwide.
In countries that are committed to taking bold action to combat plastic pollution, we work with local partners to build National Plastic Action Partnerships (NPAPs) – impartial and inclusive platforms that bring together the most influential players across the plastics value chain, from policymakers to consumer goods giants to non-governmental organizations. We work together to develop and implement a unified national approach to tackling plastic pollution.
Our work in each country or region is guided by three strategic pillars: convening communities and curating conversations; generating new knowledge and action roadmaps; and catalyzing strategic investment for high-potential solutions.
In Indonesia, our first national partner, we have formed five task forces in the areas of Behavior Change, Financing, Policy, Innovation and Metrics – all of which will play a key role in informing and propelling the implementation of national initiatives to curb plastic pollution and transition to the circular economy.
In January 2025, we have reached 25-country milestone, becoming the largest global programme tackling plastic pollution, now impacting over 1.5 billion people. Looking ahead, GPAP will continue to bring countries and other stakeholders together to build a circular economy for plastic across its entire life cycle and transform waste materials into valuable resources that can drive sustainable, equitable and resilient economic growth for all.
