However, they are still far from truly matching the scale of the problem, particularly when it comes to the elimination of unnecessary items and innovation towards reuse models. Ambition levels must continue to rise to make real strides in addressing global plastic pollution by 2025, and moving from commitment to action is crucial. Major investments, innovations, and transformation programmes need to start now.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>British fashion house, Burberry, is taking the next step and are going plastic free by 2025!
