The Reuse Rev­o­lu­tion: Devel­op­ing a Glob­al Reuse Roadmap

Break Free from Plastic

By pro­vid­ing evi­dence-based solu­tions — tech­ni­cal and pol­i­cy rec­om­men­da­tions – BFFP aim to effec­tive­ly empow­er gov­ern­ments and com­mu­ni­ties to address the plas­tic pol­lu­tion cri­sis in sys­tem­at­ic and proven ways. In col­lab­o­ra­tion with the Glob­al Plas­tics Pol­i­cy Cen­tre at Portsmouth Uni­ver­si­ty (also fund­ed by Flotil­la), they will pro­duce a solu­tion-focused, evi­dence-based technical/​policy roadmap, detail­ing what needs to hap­pen to main­stream Reuse mod­els and replace reliance on sin­gle-use and dis­pos­able plas­tics, and sig­nif­i­cant­ly reduce the pro­duc­tion of more plas­tics, while avoid­ing prob­lem­at­ic and con­tro­ver­sial indus­try prac­tices (e.g., chem­i­cal recy­cling, incin­er­a­tion, etc.). The roadmap will be used as key input for the glob­al plas­tic treaty nego­ti­a­tion (UNEA) process, and with back­ing from oth­er groups and sec­tors work­ing on cli­mate, finance, labour, and human rights.
