About Global Database on Packaging Producers and Users

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation created this open database to track corporate plastic packaging data. It measures company performance on production volumes, reusable packaging adoption, and recycling targets. The database enables researchers and policymakers to assess corporate accountability in plastic reduction efforts.

The database compiles quantitative metrics directly from packaging producers and users. It tracks plastic packaging weight, reusable plastic packaging percentages, post-consumer recycled content, and reduction targets. Furthermore, it documents both total and virgin plastic packaging reduction commitments across global companies.
