On the eve of Earth Day (Apr 22 Sat), we delve into one of the most persistent pollutants on earth - plastics! 

In a groundbreaking initiative in the fight against ocean plastic pollution, the Circulate Initiative, a non-profit organization at the forefront of the plastic waste reduction movement, has just announced the launch of the Plastics Circularity Investment Tracker.

This world-first tool aims to address data gaps and facilitate understanding of investment flows in the plastics circular economy, particularly in emerging markets. 

On Mind Your Business, Lynlee Foo and Ryan Huang speak with Umesh Madhavan, Research Director, The Circulate Initiative, on findings on the current investment landscape in plastics circularity, and Ellen Martin, Chief Impact Officer of Circulate Capital, on the knowledge gap faced by investors, and how the Plastics Circularity Investment Tracker will help with Circulate Capital’s decision making and strategies.
