PREPARING TODAY BECAUSE CHANGE IS COMING

Nations from around the world are meeting this week in Busan, South Korea to finalise a Global Plastics Treaty. Their agenda is to set ambitious targets to end plastic pollution by 2040.
 
Australia is engaged as part of the High Ambition Coalition, a group of nations strongly committed to finalising negotiations at this fifth session with agreement on ambitious global environmental goals. This Coalition will reinforce their commitment to a comprehensive approach that addresses the full life cycle of plastics, including design, production, consumption, and end of life.
 
As many resilient floorcoverings incorporate plastic materials they may be impacted by the influence of the Treaty on evolving national policy and regulations as countries aim to transition to circular economies. Transformation in the floorcovering industry is therefore inevitable. While the negotiating Coalition is pushing for ambitious targets, it also acknowledges that producer responsibility and Product Stewardship schemes play a key role in the solution to end plastic pollution and deliver a circular economy.
 
ResiLoop is here to lead, not just adapt. As policies evolve, ResiLoop is dedicated to supporting producers in navigating this shift. By enabling development of a circular approach to floorcoverings, we’re laying the groundwork for long-term impact and resilience in a changing industry. Producer responsibility is no longer a choice; it’s the pathway to remaining competitive in a sustainable future.
 
Join us at ResiLoop. Collective action has impact.
