Circular Plastics
By 2050 there could be more plastic than fish in the oceans
It’s time for a paradigm shift in how we approach plastics. Merely recycling or reducing won’t suffice to combat the plastic pollution crisis. Let’s take action today to redesign, reuse, and innovate, ensuring a future where oceans thrive with life, not plastic waste.
Making Plastics Circular-
- Embracing the Circular Economy tackles plastic pollution comprehensively, from production to post-consumer use.
- This approach not only safeguards our environment but also drives economic growth, social well-being, and climate resilience.
- By 2040, the Circular Economy could slash ocean-bound plastic by 80%, cut greenhouse gas emissions by 25%, save USD 200 billion annually, and create 700,000 new jobs.
