Learn about Responsible Plastic Management (RPM)
Tackle plastic pollution with a standardised approach to waste
The Responsible Plastic Management (RPM) standard focuses on tackling plastic waste through a robust approach to plastic management that equips organisations with the tools to reduce, reuse, and recycle some of the 350 million metric tons of plastic waste produced globally each year. The RPM standard also facilitates transparency when it comes to plastic waste, enabling you to demonstrate your commitment to doing the right thing amidst growing public and political scrutiny.
