Since its launch in 2020, the fund has invested more than $35 million in a range of initiatives aimed at reducing plastic waste. 34 new initiatives will be supported this year, bringing the total number of projects that received money to 63 in the previous years. More than 240 full-time employment have been created as a result of the Plastics Action Fund's first two phases, and more are anticipated to be created during the third phase.
