A significant share of plastics used in tourism are designed for single use and often cannot be recycled\u2014leading to pollution that harms ecosystems, communities, and destinations. <br><br>\n\nAround the world, tourism stakeholders are taking collective action to eliminate unnecessary plastics and transition toward circularity. Recognising that no single organisation can address the issue alone, the Global Tourism Plastics Initiative brings together businesses, destinations, associations, and NGOs to adopt system-wide changes across the value chain.<br><br>\n\nRTSOI is proud to be a signatory to this global initiative and actively works with its members to support and amplify the movement toward a plastic-free future for tourism.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-03b866c e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"03b866c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d5e0838 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d5e0838\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6413c4d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6413c4d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">About the initiative<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5f26e65 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5f26e65\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Launched in 2020 and led by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), in collaboration with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, the Global Tourism Plastics Initiative unites the tourism sector behind a shared vision to tackle the root causes of plastic pollution. <br><br>\n\nThe initiative aligns with the New Plastics Economy Global Commitment and contributes to key Sustainable Development Goals (including <b> SDG 12 -
