Meet the heroes making it happen

Since 2023, the PET Heroes Awards have recognised and supported outstanding individuals and organisations advancing plastic circularity with social impact.  

Through adaPETation, we identify and support initiatives that combine circular solutions for plastics with tangible benefits for vulnerable communities. Our aim is to unlock the full potential of plastic circularity to drive environmental progress and socio-economic development, delivering a genuine double impact.  

Because circularity should not only close loops, but create opportunity.
