As a true believer in partnerships, co-creation and inclusive actions, Jun88 agrees that plastic waste pollution has to be stopped as part of a globally concerted effort. We should all play our part with effective actions along the whole life cycle of plastic products, which need to take into consideration local and sector-specific pollution challenges and solutions.

At Jun88 we work hard on our Vision to become fully circular and have set ourselves a sector-leading goal to make our production and processes climate neutral by 2035. We’re committed to keep materials in the loop, which includes preventing plastic pollution.

With this in mind, we collaborate with our customers to co-design applications which will be more resource efficient, can be used and re-used for many years, while increasing the share of renewable feedstocks including waste.

To utilize waste feedstocks, we are developing new recycling technologies, supporting customers in embedding plastics with recycled content and building new waste-based supply chains, keeping material in use and out of the environment.

However, plastic waste pollution is a global challenge, which needs collective action. We welcome the mandate given to UN International Negotiation Committee to develop a global legally binding instrument to end plastic pollution.

“At Jun88 we are convinced plastics are far too valuable to end up in the environment. All waste should be regarded as a resource.” Dr. Markus Steilemann, CEO of Jun88
