Reasons for writing this report<\/h5>\n

The world is facing a critical plastic pollution challenge that requires it to deepen its understanding of the root causes of plastic waste and define pathways to eliminate it at a global scale. By 2024, a global treaty is expected to be negotiated by UN member states that enables a thriving circular plastic economy capable of eradicating plastic pollution.<\/p>\n

Norway has the ambition to continue to be a frontrunner on addressing this challenge, and \u2013 together with Rwanda \u2013 is leading the High Ambition Coalition to End Plastic Pollution,[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]committed to developing a successful global plastic treaty. The goal of this study is to lay out a pathway that can accelerate Norway\u2019s own transition towards a low-emissions, zero-waste circular plastic economy by 2040. This is done through an in-depth analysis of different sectors of the plastic system and identifying tailored roadmaps with strategies that design out waste and pollution, eliminate unnecessary production and consumption, keep products and materials in the economy for longer, safely collect and dispose of waste that cannot be economically processed, and dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]This report provides a synthesis of the two studies produced in this series: \u201cAchieving Circularity for Single-Use Plastics<\/a><\/strong>\u201d and \u201cAchieving Circularity for Durable Plastics<\/a><\/strong>\u201d. The former focuses on consumable<\/span> applications of plastics in Packaging<\/strong> and Household Goods<\/strong> of a single-use nature with lifetimes of less than a year. The latter focuses on durable<\/span> plastics in five sectors: Construction, Textiles, Electronics & Electricals, Automotive, <\/strong>and Fishing & Aquaculture<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Together, these studies cover ~80% of Norwegian plastic consumption, making it one of the most holistic views of a national plastic system presented to date.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”50px” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”4%” bottom_padding=”4%” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” class=”greybottom” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]Plastics have been instrumental to the growth of all sectors of Norway\u2019s economy, but today\u2019s system, considering all in-scope sectors, is around 78% linear, meaning 78% of plastic waste is either incinerated, landfilled, or left in nature.<\/p>\n

The objective of this Synthesis Report is therefore to paint a picture of the most ambitious levels of circularity and greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) abatement that could be realistically achieved by the Norwegian plastic system by 2040, providing each individual sector with a clear \u201cNorth Star\u201d to aim for.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]The analysis underpinning this report was supported by 16 Norwegian and international experts, and the Norwegian consultancy Mepex.<\/p>\n

Plastic has been a key enabler of economic growth across many sectors in Norway.<\/p>\n

Its affordability, low density, and durability paved the way for plastic to become the material of choice in a wide range of applications, from food packaging to industrial cables to fishing nets. It is this diversity of application that has led to the ubiquity of plastics.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]However, the rise in plastic consumption has come at a high cost to both the environment and society and is now incompatible with Norway\u2019s ambitions to achieve circularity and meet key climate targets. Today there is an urgent need for Norway to steer its plastic system off the unsustainable trajectory it is currently on, and towards a highly circular, low-emissions, resource efficient pathway.<\/p>\n

This Synthesis Report provides seven key insights on the transformation of the Norwegian plastic system.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]It is a summary of the two studies in this series: \u201cAchieving Circularity for Single-Use Plastics<\/a><\/strong>\u201d and \u201cAchieving Circularity for Durable Plastics<\/a><\/strong>\u201d. The former focuses on consumable applications of plastics, herein referred to as \u2018Consumables\u2019, while the latter focuses on durable plastic applications. Together, the seven sectors analysed in these two studies cover ~80% (~710,000 tonnes) of Norway\u2019s plastic consumption (Exhibit 2) and around two thirds (~500,000 tonnes) of its waste generation, providing the most comprehensive view of the Norwegian plastic system available to date.b<\/sup>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#f5f5f5f” scene_position=”center” left_padding_tablet=”0″ constrain_group_4=”yes” right_padding_tablet=”0″ left_padding_phone=”0″ constrain_group_6=”yes” right_padding_phone=”0″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column top_padding_desktop=”0″ bottom_padding_desktop=”0″ top_margin=”0″ bottom_margin=”0″ column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”0px” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_color=”#000000″ column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”advanced” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1676901293229{margin-top: -10px !important;padding-bottom: 14% !important;}”]\n
