TotalEnergies is a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste, which brings together around ninety companies from the plastics and consumer goods value chain, project partners, and supporters committed to implementing solutions to eliminate plastic waste in the environment, especially in the oceans.
4 key principles were established:
- Act now... or risk permanent damage for future generations
- Collective action... no organization can tackle this problem alone
- A cross-value chain approach... no single business sector can drive true systems change
- A do-tank, not a think-tank... discussion, policy, and public pledges are important, but real action and real investment are needed
4 strategic areas of intervention:

| Many communities, especially in Asia and Africa, do not have systems to collect & manage plastic waste or to increase recycling. | We support ideas that scale new technologies and solutions for a circular economy, with funding, capacity building and incubation services. | Lasting change is only possible if everyone knows why and what it takes to end plastic waste in the environment. We work with communities at local scale to drive deeper engagement. | Every community should have universal access to an environment free of plastic waste. |
Today 35 projects have been launched in more than 55 cities across the globe.
