Understanding plastic data and footprinting: A step-by-step guide to support the CDP Plastics Module

This practical guide helps companies respond to the CDP Plastics Module, including tips and tricks to help you get the most out of your reporting and set ambitious targets.

The comprehensive guide covers the practicalities of the CDP Plastics Module and goes deeper into the tools and methodologies needed to develop actionable plastic targets, link those targets to implementation strategies, and conduct a full lifecycle analysis of your plastic use and risks.

The guide draws on Earth Actions extensive experience in plastic data analysis, methodology development and environmental impact accounting. We offer step-by-step guidance to respond to the CDP module, describing the data you will need to gather and how to meet CDP’s requirements. We layer on insights from our work convening the Plastics Footprint Network to offer recommendations on how you can integrate plastic footprinting in your reporting and strategy and how to take your plastics data to the next level through granular data sources like Plasteax.  The guide dives even deeper into future plastic risks, like microplastics, to get you thinking beyond CDP.

Explore the guide and you’ll be prepared for CDP and more.
