PlasticIQ by Circulytics: Data-Driven Tool for Reducing Plastic Waste and Supporting Circular Economy

PlasticIQ is an innovative tool developed by Circulytics, part of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, designed to help businesses, governments, and organizations reduce their plastic waste and shift toward a more circular economy. PlasticIQ provides actionable insights and data-driven strategies for managing plastic usage, minimizing plastic waste, and enhancing recycling and reuse efforts.

This helps businesses meet sustainability goals, adhere to regulations, and respond to consumer demand for more environmentally responsible products.
