Mission & Interests

Goals: WRAP is a charity, working with governments, businesses and citizens around the globe to create a world in which climate change is no longer a problem. Our mission is to make the world a more sustainable place. We bring people together, we act on the facts, and we drive change. Our core purpose is to help to tackle climate change and protect our planet by changing the way things are produced, consumed and disposed of. Our impact spans the entire lifecycle of the food we eat, the clothes we wear and the products we buy, from production to consumption and beyond. We tackle sustainable product design, waste minimisation, re-use, recycling and waste management for food and drink, plastic packaging, clothing and textiles and waste management. We deliver change.
