IN 4 STEPS TO A PLASTIC NEUTRAL COMPANY
Today, it is estimated that close to 150 million tonnes of plastic are in the ocean. This number is only predicted to increase in the coming decades, even overtaking the biomass of fish by 2050. As plastic breaks down and penetrates living organisms, it disrupts their natural cycles… and also ends up on our plates.
As for the billions of tonnes of plastic remaining on land, a mere 7 to 10% are being recycled1. The rest ends up in massive landfills, pollutes the soils, or is burned – releasing dangerous toxins into the air and contributing to greenhouse gas emissions.
Contrary to many other global issues, the plastic problem is one for which clear solutions already exist. The main one: reducing plastic usage and switching to recyclable alternatives of plastic where this is possible with less environmental impacts. And secondly: to make plastic ‘trash’ valuable
again, and thus to prevent it from leaking into the environment by reinserting it into the supply chain. In short, the solution is to aim for circularity instead of the linear model of consumption.
