At GPT Waste, we’re acutely aware of the global challenges in plastic waste management and the urgent need for circular economy solutions. Recent data from The Circulate Initiative’s Plastics Circularity Investment Tracker has highlighted the scale of the issue, and we’re proud to be at the forefront of addressing these challenges in the UK.

The Investment Gap and GPT Waste’s Role
