The big customers of plant fiber molding are here! Of course, more than that

Sustainability is a social responsibility and a business.

As the best plastic alternative, plant fiber molding must pay attention to major events in the field of sustainable development. This time, 54 global leaders signed a letter of commitment to accelerate the transition to a circular economy.

Did not see the figure of leading enterprises in China's industry, is it because Chinese business leaders do not attach importance to it? I think it is definitely not that simple. Sustainable development is a global trend. Chinese business leaders must also attach great importance to it, but why haven't they seen Chinese business leaders participate? Because sustainable development is also a business, business has a threshold, our country must also find its own position in the sustainable business, become a major participant in the future world theme of sustainable development, and even have the opportunity to become a leader.

The list of global leaders who signed the letter of commitment is as follows. Participants in the field of plant fiber molding can find ways to do business with them!

The sponsors of this signing of the letter of commitment are the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, and here's a look at their background,

Since its inception in 2010, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation has been committed to advancing the transition of the world economy to a circular economy. As a global thought leader in the circular economy, the foundation works in six areas: education, business, institutions, government and cities, research and analysis, systemic initiatives and communication, putting the circular economy on the agenda of business, politics and academia.

Under the initiative of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation (Ellen MacArthur Foundation), 54 global leaders from global policy makers, companies, charities and academics including the World Economic Forum, the European Parliament, the United Nations Environment Programme have signed a letter of commitment to accelerate the transition to a circular economy-developing solutions for plastics, fashion, food, finance, and combining economic opportunities with social and environmental benefits. The companies that signed the commitment include Unilever, Nestle, Coca-Cola, Condé Nast, H & M, L'Oreal, Veolia, etc.

Unlike the traditional linear production model, the circular economy follows the three principles of "avoiding waste and pollution from the beginning of design", "extending the life cycle of products and materials" and "promoting the regeneration of natural systems. The statement called on enterprises and governments around the world to jointly embark on the road of circular economy development, increase investment in circular economy initiatives, and set clearer circular economy goals.

According to the statement, the parties will provide solutions to achieve a more rational reconstruction. The statement stressed that as the world faces the challenges posed by the neo-crowning epidemic, the question before us is no longer "whether we should achieve a more rational reconstruction", but "how we can achieve a more rational reconstruction".

In terms of how to build a circular economy, the statement called for the adoption of the three principles of "avoiding waste and pollution from the beginning of design", "extending the life cycle of products and materials" and "promoting the regeneration of natural systems", which will promote the coordinated development of economic growth, environmental protection and employment.

The statement mentioned that at this stage, a number of leading enterprises and governments have taken solid steps towards the establishment of a circular economy. Taking the prevention and control of plastic pollution as an example, more than 850 organizations have signed the "Global Commitment for the New Plastics Economy" to work together to achieve the ambitious "2025 Goals. Now is a good time to further promote the transformation of circular economy.

The 2019 Global Commitment for a New Plastics Economy report shows new progress in tackling plastic pollution: companies have begun to take action to phase out the use of problematic plastic packaging and intend to increase the use of recycled plastic in packaging by more than five times by 2025. Unilever (Unilever), Mars (Mars, Incorporated) and PepsiCo (PepsiCo) announced that they will significantly reduce the use of virgin plastics by 2025. A new report will be published in October 2020.

At present, the world is facing unprecedented challenges. The statement called for accelerating the transition to a circular economy and developing solutions that combine economic opportunities with broader social and environmental benefits. For plastics, we call for reducing unnecessary production, innovating business models, developing new materials, and increasing the recycling of necessary plastics as much as possible; for fashion, we call for ensuring the multiple use of clothing, aiming at reuse from the beginning of design, and using safe and reusable materials to create clothing; for food, we will redesign food products and supply chains to realize the regeneration of the natural environment and reduce waste, linking local production and consumption where possible; for finance, will support companies striving to transition to circular business models and channel capital to circular economy solutions.

The statement makes it clear that the parties will support other industries that play an important role in post-epidemic reconstruction, including medical, technology, mobility, electronics, chemicals and the built environment.

A global thought leader in the field of circular economy, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation has been driving the transition to a circular economy since its inception in 2010. The foundation focuses on six areas: education, business, institutions, government and cities, insight and analysis, systemic initiatives and communication, and puts circular economy on the important agenda of business, politics and academia.

Circular Economy: A Solution for Better Rebuilding

As the world faces the challenges posed by the neo-crowning epidemic, the question before us is no longer "should we rebuild more rationally", but "how do we rebuild more rationally".

Many have begun to call for global challenges such as climate change and environmental pollution not to be out of the spotlight as we respond to the devastating effects of the epidemic.

The circular economy can provide a means for achieving the above requirements. Through the three principles of "avoiding waste and pollution from the beginning of design", "extending the life cycle of products and materials" and "promoting the regeneration of natural systems", circular economy can not only create excellent opportunities for economic growth, but also protect the environment, increase employment and ultimately benefit society.

At this stage, a number of leading enterprises and governments have taken solid steps towards the establishment of circular economy. Taking the prevention and control of plastic pollution as an example, more than 850 organizations have signed the "Global Commitment for the New Plastics Economy" to work together to achieve the ambitious "2025 Goals. Now is a good time to strike while the iron is hot to further promote the transformation of the circular economy, rather than stop because of the impact of the epidemic.

The world faces unprecedented challenges. At this time, more than ever, we are committed to accelerating the transition to a circular economy and creating solutions that combine economic opportunities with broader social and environmental benefits.

For plastics, we will reduce unnecessary production, innovate business models, develop new materials, and increase the recycling of necessary plastics as much as possible-leaving plastics in the economic cycle instead of flowing into the natural environment.

For fashion, we will ensure that clothing is used repeatedly, with the goal of reuse from the beginning of design, and use safe and reusable materials to create clothing.

For food, we will redesign food products and supply chains to regenerate the natural environment, reduce waste and, where possible, connect local production and consumption.

For finance, we will support companies striving to transition to circular business models and direct capital flows to circular economy solutions.

We will not stop there. We will also support other industries that play an important role in post-epidemic reconstruction, including medical, technology, mobility, electronics, chemicals and the built environment.

We call on businesses, governments and financial institutions around the world to join us in the development of circular economy, increase investment in circular economy solutions, set more ambitious circular economy goals, and accelerate the realization of existing goals.
