STRATEGIES
The Alliance seeks to develop solution models that are environmentally and socially beneficial , economically feasible , and most of all , highly replicable – all targeted at eliminating leakage and enabling plastic circularity .
“ Think of us as a global laboratory that de-risks and demonstrates innovative new approaches on a commercial scale ,” says Martyn Tickner , Chief Advisor , Circular Solutions , Alliance to End Plastic Waste .
The Alliance is working to boost confidence in innovation by using its capital to de-risk projects , encouraging commercial capital to continue the process of scaling and / or replicating viable solutions . Rather than the typical finance return , the Alliance seeks to create an impact return through making grants or concessional loans designed to de-risk the investment for other proven solutions .
THE ALLIANCE TO END PLASTIC WASTE ’ S FOUR STRATEGIC PILLARS :
Infrastructure : Develop infrastructure systems that can eventually be owned and operated by the communities they serve .
Innovation : Incubate and accelerate ideas to help scale new solutions and technologies
Education and Engagement : Empower communities with the knowledge and tools to become part of the solution
