The Cleanup Guide by WWF International is a toolkit designed to empower employees to organize volunteer plastic cleanup events. It outlines the environmental urgency of plastic pollution, provides a comprehensive planning checklist—covering site selection, volunteer recruitment, and safety—and offers strategies for minimizing the event's own environmental footprint. The guide emphasizes a "one planet" approach to systems-change and encourages participants to move beyond cleanups toward reducing single-use plastic consumption and advocating for policy changes.

The document argues that waste occurs at every stage of a product's life cycle and provides actionable tips for reducing plastic, organic, and packaging waste in homes and workplaces. It highlights the environmental threat of plastic pollution while acknowledging its utility in reducing food waste. Additionally, it details WWF's efforts through the Bioplastic Feedstock Alliance and the Cascading Materials Vision to promote sustainable material sourcing and a global system of secondary material reuse.

The document highlights the tourism industry's significant role in plastic pollution, noting that 80% of tourism occurs in coastal areas and peak seasons can increase marine litter by 40%. It urges businesses and governments to adopt circular economy principles, support recycling infrastructure, and join global initiatives such as the Global Tourism Plastics Initiative and the U.S. Plastics Pact to eliminate plastic leakage into the environment.

The report outlines the essential structural elements of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) programs, detailing how the choice of Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO) systems, operational responsibilities, cost coverage, financial models, fee structures, and funding mechanisms influence environmental and economic outcomes. It emphasizes the importance of harmonization across jurisdictions and the use of eco-modulated fees to incentivize sustainable packaging design.

The document outlines the environmental impact of product life cycles, with a heavy emphasis on the crisis of plastic pollution. It provides actionable tips for consumers and offices to reduce waste through better shopping choices, recycling, and composting. It also highlights WWF's systemic initiatives, such as the ReSource hub and the Bioplastic Feedstock Alliance, to transform the plastic value chain and shift away from fossil-fuel-based plastics.

The report outlines a vision for 'No Plastic in Nature' by 2030, focusing on the role of the private sector in eliminating unnecessary plastics, doubling global recovery, and shifting to sustainable materials. It provides a blueprint for corporate action centered on strategic organizational alignment, innovative product design, consumer engagement through behavioral science, and the development of local collection and recovery infrastructure.

The policy brief outlines a strategy to move the US toward a circular economy to combat the environmental and social impacts of plastic pollution. It proposes a federal framework centered on Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), the phasing out of problematic single-use materials, and the correction of market incentives that currently favor virgin plastics over recycled alternatives. The roadmap also emphasizes environmental justice for frontline communities and the need for US leadership in global binding agreements to prevent plastic leakage and manage international waste trade.

The document argues that a national EPR system in the United States is essential to address plastic pollution, as only 9% of plastic is recycled annually and the country spends $11.5 billion on cleanup from trash leakage. It recommends a framework centered on a single non-profit Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO) that shares operational duties with municipalities. Key recommendations include full financial responsibility for producers (or at least 90%), the use of eco-modulated fee structures to incentivize sustainable packaging, and performance-based funding linked to specific targets like collection rates and processing efficiency.

The fact sheet examines the role of informal reclaimers in African cities, highlighting their contribution to waste diversion and the barriers they face, such as health risks and lack of policy recognition. It advocates for a transition from a linear 'take-make-waste' model to an inclusive circular economy where reclaimers are recognised as key stakeholders and involved in earlier stages of the product life cycle, including design. The document provides a status quo analysis and opportunities for various actors—including national and local governments, producers, and civil society—to formalise and support the informal waste sector.

The Environmental Sustainability Question Framework is a diagnostic tool used to evaluate corporate environmental impact. It collects data on governance, water management, supply chain traceability, waste and pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and the adoption of renewable energy. It includes a specialized section for mining and energy companies to track fossil fuel revenue and mine decommissioning plans.

The document outlines a proposal to ban four unnecessary plastic products by 2025 and phase out six others by 2030 in South Africa. A macroeconomic model indicates that these interventions would lead to positive outcomes in real GDP, employment, and wages compared to a business-as-usual scenario, despite a slight increase in greenhouse gas emissions. The report advocates for the South African government to support these measures in the negotiations for a global treaty to end plastic pollution.
