This session highlights the achievements and challenges from circular plastics pilot projects in the Global South. It discusses learnings from the plethora of existing credit standards for the development of an overall process standard and provides key insights into local collection and recycling projects in India, Vietnam, Mexico and Brazil. The project partners will shed light on topics such as: Gaps and opportunities in the plastic credit market; waste collection, waste tracking and certification for issuance of credits; the additionality of plastic credits with regard to low-value plastics and the establishment of a scientific framework for environmental impact assessment of plastic credit projects.
