Projects in Asia and the Pacific
WRAP works globally with governments, businesses, and communities to deliver practical solutions to improve resource efficiency within plastics, food and textiles.
We have worked collaboratively in Asia and the Pacific with leading local organisations to deliver the following projects.......
Plastics
WRAP has worked to support the development and delivery of Plastics Pacts around the world including those in the Ellen MacArthur Foundation Network of Pacts.
WRAP has worked collaboratively across Asia and the Pacific to develop several Plastics Pacts they are;
Australia (ANZPac)
We are, in partnership with the Commonwealth Clean Ocean Alliance, Commonwealth Marine Litter Programme and Defra supporting the regional Australia, New Zealand and Pacific Plastics Pact (ANZPac), developed by APCO (Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation) and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation.
Fiji, Vanuata and Samoa (ANZPac)
Small island nations are particularly susceptible to plastic produced elsewhere and delivered to the islands where it enters the environment as waste.
Regional collaboration is key to addressing this. We are, in partnership with the Commonwealth Clean Ocean Alliance, Commonwealth Marine Litter Programme and Defra supporting the islands of Fiji, Vanuata and Samoa to participate in the regional Australia, New Zealand and Pacific Plastics Pact (ANZPac), developed by APCO (Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation) and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation.
India Plastics Pact
The India Plastics Pact has been developed by WWF India and the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) it is supported by WRAP as strategic partners with funding by UK research and Innovation (UKRI) and Stewart Investors.
Malaysia
WRAP has been funded by Defra to support the government and businesses of Malaysia to develop a collaborative agreement to tackle plastic waste. Based on The UK Plastic Pact model, the Malaysia Sustainable Plastic Alliance (MaSPA) will bring together stakeholders from across sectors to create a circular economy for plastics in Malaysia.
Love Food Hate Waste International
WRAP’s citizen consumer campaign Love Food Hate Waste is now across 8 countries.
Within Asia and the Pacific the campaign is live in New South Wales, Queensland and New Zealand.
The licencing and use of Love Food Hate Waste on an international level, means those who sign up to it gain access to the use of our already established International, trusted and highly successful citizen facing food waste brand. The teams in Canada worked with us to develop a locally relevant campaign.
Textiles
WRAP works globally with governments, businesses, and communities to deliver practical solutions to reduce the impact of textiles on the environment.
Globally we work through the Textiles Action Network and a project called Textiles 2030.
Other global work
Work to tackle food waste, plastic pollution and the impact of textiles continues in Asia and the Pacific and other areas within the region are being explored.
