Projects in Asia and the Pacific

WRAP works globally with governments, businesses, and communities to deliver practical solutions to improve resource efficiency within plastics, food and textiles.

We have worked collaboratively in Asia and the Pacific with leading local organisations to deliver the following projects.......

WRAP has worked collaboratively across Asia and the Pacific to develop several Plastics Pacts they are;

Fiji, Vanuata and Samoa (ANZPac)

Small island nations are particularly susceptible to plastic produced elsewhere and delivered to the islands where it enters the environment as waste.

Regional collaboration is key to addressing this. We are, in partnership with the Commonwealth Clean Ocean Alliance, Commonwealth Marine Litter Programme and Defra supporting the islands of Fiji, Vanuata and Samoa to participate in the regional Australia, New Zealand and Pacific Plastics Pact (ANZPac), developed by APCO (Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation) and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation.

Love Food Hate Waste International

WRAP’s citizen consumer campaign Love Food Hate Waste is now across 8 countries. 

Within Asia and the Pacific the campaign is live in New South Wales, Queensland and New Zealand.

The licencing and use of Love Food Hate Waste on an international level, means those who sign up to it gain access to the use of our already established International, trusted and highly successful citizen facing food waste brand. The teams in Canada worked with us to develop a locally relevant campaign.
