Just as we need clear rules on the tennis court, we need them for an effective global plastics treaty that can tackle plastic pollution. #BusinessNeedsGlobalRules to scale reduction, reuse and refill solutions like the #Wimbledon example below. Global rules can help spark further innovation and mobilise investment. It's great to see this refill and reuse partnership between Wimbledon and evian this year - an example of what an ambitious, legally binding treaty to end #plasticpollution could make a reality around the world. https://lnkd.in/d9bVtVWH evian is a brand of Danone, a member of our Business Coalition for a Global Plastics Treaty, which brings together +230 businesses and financial institutions committed to supporting the development of an ambitious, effective and legally binding UN treaty to end plastic pollution.

Today, we are excited to announce The Petaluma Reusable Cup Project, from the #NextGen Consortium, led by the Center for the Circular Economy at Closed Loop Partners! Beginning August 5, global brands including Starbucks, The Coca-Cola Company, PepsiCo, Peet's Coffee, Yum! Brands are joining forces with local restaurants in the City of Petaluma, CA, to swap single-use cups for to-go reusable cups to all customers at no cost, with widespread return points available across the city.
