In 2023 PFN unified existing methodologies into a single system for science-based plastic leakage assessments. The resulting methodology is made up of various modules, each designed to support global organizations with accurately measuring the environmental impact of their plastic use.
PFN is actively formulating a science-based framework in alignment with the Plastics Treaty to enable organizations to set measurable and achievable targets once their Plastic Footprint assessment is complete. With well-established and clear targets, true progress can be made in tracking and mitigating the sources of plastic pollution.
The network’s successful collaboration is built on pillars of: open, non-competitive and productive dialog; leveraging science and supporting ongoing research; and broadly empowering global stakeholders (product manufactuers, brand owners, treaty negotiators, regulators, consultants, NGOs, etc) to effectively do their part to address the plastic pollution crisis.
All individuals and organizations that are committed to using robust science and collaboration to create solutions to the plastic pollution crisis are invited to join the Plastic Footprint Network.
The Plastic Footprint Network is convened by EA – Earth Action
