Quantix, a supply chain services company to the chemical industry, announced on May 24 that it has joined the Alliance to End Plastic Waste, a global non-profit organization that brings together government, companies and communities to end plastic waste in the environment.
Quantix is the 31st member in North America to join the Alliance, which has over 70 members, including founding member companies BASF, Chevron Phillips Chemical, ExxonMobil, Dow Chemical, Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings, Procter & Gamble and Shell.
"We understand that no viable solution to ending plastic waste can come from any individual company alone, but rather a combination of all of us working together," said Chris Ball, president and CEO of Quantix, in a press release. "Solving the challenges of reducing plastic waste and redefining how it can be used and repurposed is complex, and we are committed to working with the Alliance and its members to take action toward these goals and more."
"The Alliance has been a catalyst for more than 50 projects across 30 countries," added Natalie Stirling-Sanders, chief advisor, head of Americas, Alliance to End Plastic Waste. "The solutions that are being supported are often ground-breaking and enabled by strong collaboration amongst all players across the plastic value chain. We are delighted to welcome Quantix to the Alliance, and are pleased we now have a logistics company in North America helping to end plastic waste in the environment."
