Eunomia and the Quaker United Nations Office (QUNO) have published a new report, Plastic Money: Turning Off the Subsidies Tap. It details a second phase of research and modelling to understand the extent of subsidies for primary polymer production and the potential impact of removing these. We undertook the study [...]
A new report by Eunomia, commissioned by the Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) and launched at COP29 this week, shows that a 40% reduction target in virgin plastics by 2040 would be an important enabler for climate impact reduction for the plastics industry, but it may not be enough to limit [...]
New research by Eunomia on behalf of the Minderoo Foundation has explored how a polymer premium, working in tandem with cost recovery mechanisms and public funding, could help fund implementation of the Global Plastics Treaty. The premium has potential to channel valuable resource into reducing plastic pollution, especially in low- [...]
A new study by Eunomia, conducted on behalf of Fauna & Flora, analyses plastic credit schemes and explores the scope, risks and uncertainties. Plastic credits have been gaining prominence in discussions relating to the United Nations Plastics Treaty as “innovative instruments” to channel funding towards tackling global plastic pollution. Plastic [...]
Eunomia was commissioned by WWF Germany to produce a report on addressing plastic pollution by expanding reuse models to support the UN Plastics Treaty.
