“By advancing a globally coordinated effort focused on recovering, recycling and reusing plastics, we will develop a global business model that creates value from waste, making it a resource rather than a throw away,” said David Taylor, AEPW’s chairman and president and CEO of Procter & Gamble (Cincinnati, Ohio / USA; www.pg.com), at the New York Stock Exchange.
AEPW’s strategy focuses on expanding infrastructure, especially in developing countries. It also aims to advance and scale new technologies, educate and engage governments to mobilise action and clean up contaminated areas.
