What we do here

In international development, circularity is an emerging field full of potential. This presents a powerful opportunity to reimagine how materials, livelihoods, and communities thrive together.
P2P steps into this space as a catalyst, mobilising expertise, partners, and resources to accelerate inclusive circular solutions that create lasting social and environmental impact.

  • Amplify circularity into development agendas to unlock social, economic, and environmental opportunities.
  • Support and scale high-potential initiatives that transform plastic circularity into meaningful social impact
  • Foster innovation and partnerships to create inclusive, locally rooted solutions that leave no one behind
