Contract

The Plastics Transition Investment Facility (PTIF) is an emerging multi-partner initiative being developed to advance practical solutions across the plastics value chain. Building on growing momentum from the international negotiations on plastic pollution and wider sustainable development objectives, the PTIF seeks to mobilise blended finance to scale upstream, midstream, and downstream interventions. Its design responds to critical financing gaps by leveraging concessional instruments, technical assistance, and risk-sharing mechanisms to enable private sector participation and investment in circular solutions. Clear governance and operational frameworks will be essential to ensure the Facility’s credibility, alignment with global processes, and capacity to deliver transformational outcomes. The Terms of Reference represent a key step in establishing the PTIF’s Secretariat and governance structure, and require refinement to ensure accuracy, clarity, and alignment with institutional standards.
