Application Checklist

Eligibility

• Applicant must be a CGF corporate member (major consumer goods company) to participate in the coalition
• Partnership or stakeholder engagement may be possible outside of formal membership — contact environmental@theconsumergoodsforum.com

Project Scope

• Organizations must align with CGF Golden Design Rules for plastic packaging design
• Engagement focuses on EPR policy advocacy, packaging redesign, reuse/refill pilots, flexible plastics, and chemical recycling
• EPR workstreams specifically target Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs) — relevant for international plastic waste projects

Constraints

• No direct funding or grants available to external NGOs or non-members

Historical Context

The coalition has grown to 43 member companies. Recent activity includes a January 2026 pilot of a city-scale reusable packaging system in Ottawa (with Reposit), and a March 2026 release of EPR Guiding Principles for Liquid Packaging Cartons in LMICs. The CGF also launched a Carbon Solutions Hub in June 2022. The initiative appears to be an ongoing, permanent coalition with no time-limited funding rounds.
