Consultancy Firm to conduct Baseline Assessment for Single Use Plastic

To address systemic plastic pollution, the Global Environment Facility (GEF), through its eighth replenishment cycle (GEF-8), launched a new generation of Integrated Programmes (IPs) designed to deliver large-scale, cross-sectoral interventions that address the root causes of environmental degradation. These programmes promote collaboration among governments, the private sector, and civil society to drive transformative changes.A flagship initiative under this framework is the Circular Solutions to Plastic Pollution Integrated Programme (CSPP IP), also known as “Plastic Reboot.” The programme aims to transform the global plastics value chain from a linear “take–make–waste” model into a circular system based on prevention, redesign, reuse, and responsible recycling. Its objectives include reducing plastic leakage into the environment, lowering greenhouse gas emissions associated with plastic production and disposal, and advancing sustainable consumption and production patterns.Plastic Reboot is jointly led by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF-US), in partnership with UNIDO and UNDP. It provides technical expertise, policy guidance, and financing support to enable countries to adopt scalable circular economic solutions. The Global Platform component serves as a coordination and knowledge-sharing hub, facilitating innovation and dissemination of best practices across participating countries.The CSPP IP is structured around two key components: (i) the Global Platform, which provides coordination, policy support, and knowledge exchange; and (ii) Child (National) Projects, implemented in countries including Jordan, Brazil, India, Indonesia, and Ghana, which translate global objectives into context-specific interventions.The objective of this consultancy is to undertake a comprehensive baseline assessment of the SUP consumption and management practices within targeted establishments in Jordan’s HORECA and food service se
