Chris Williams, CEO of UK cleantech ISB Global, warns that plastic recycling alone is not enough for the world to kick its harmful addiction to plastic. An incendiary new report published this month by the US-based Center for Climate Integrity entitled ‘The Fraud of Plastic Recycling’ contends that the oil industry and the plastics manufacturers have falsely promoted recycling as the answer to the problem of plastic waste problem for more than half a century despite knowing that plastic recycling “is not technically or economically viable at scale”, according to the authors. #PlasticRecycling #PlasticPollution #PlasticWaste #Environment Click the link below to discover more ⬇ https://bit.ly/49DnbaT

With Plastic Free July currently underway, there’s no better time to highlight the issues of single-use plastics and plastic waste reduction. Plastic waste is a big feature at this year’s Australasian Waste and Recycling Expo (AWRE) with speakers from Australian Food And Grocery Council, National Retail Association, NSW EPA and more taking the stage to discuss how we tackle it. https://lnkd.in/du742FvP AWRE - Australasian Waste & Recycling Expo Australian Food and Grocery Council National Retail Association NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) Australian Council of Recycling (ACOR) Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO) Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) AORA - Australian Organics Recycling Association Limited Waste Contractors and Recyclers Association NSW & ACT (WCRA) Plastic Free

Check out this eye-opening revelation from a recent article! It's easy to believe that recycling is the ultimate solution to plastic pollution, but the truth is; we need to tackle the issue at its roots. Only 5% of U.S. plastic waste is recycled, and a mere 10% of all plastic ever made has been recycled. That's why at IMC Water Coolers & Air Purification we've been addressing part of the problem for over 35 years. Our bottle-less water coolers and filtration not only provide a convenient solution but also contribute to reducing plastic waste by eliminating the need for bottled water delivery trucks on the roads. Let's make a real impact together! Learn more at: https://lnkd.in/g68NR59y #PlasticPollution #Sustainability #ReduceWaste

Breaking the Plastic Cycle: Innovating Towards a Circular Economy The path towards a circular economy for plastics is not an easy one, but the consequences of inaction are dire. By embracing a holistic and collaborative approach, we can create a future where plastics are responsibly managed, resources are conserved, and our planet’s health is prioritised. Plastic pollution is a global crisis that demands urgent attention and action. While governments and international organisations are taking steps to address this issue, building local awareness and fostering community involvement is just as crucial for driving real, lasting change. Similar conversations and engagements will be taking place at the Recycling Expo, as it provides a platform to showcase cutting-edge technologies and best practices in recycling and waste management. On top of this, our partnership with the British Plastics Federation further strengthens our focus on plastics circularity, bringing together industry leaders, innovators, and policymakers. Similarly, this partnership fosters the development of sustainable solutions, promotes the reduction of plastic waste, and accelerates the transition towards a more circular economy where materials are reused and recycled efficiently. #recycling #wastemanagement #plasticrecycling #circulareconomy #circularity

A new initiative has been launched through a collaboration between Bracknell Forest Council and Reading and Wokingham Borough Council. This initiative will involve thousands of homeowners throughout Bracknell working towards tackling the plastic waste issue collectively. This effort will involve over 10,000 properties collecting bags and wrapping and various plastic items and putting them into a blue bag which will be provided by the council. Once collected, the items in the bag will go to the resident’s local recycling bin and will then be collected with the rest of the rubbish as normal. This system has been developed so that it will work with the pre-existing recycling bins and no new structures need to be created to make this possible. The article below discusses a new initiative which is aiming at reducing the amount of plastic waste and they are also aiming to do this through encouraging citizens to help. By creating a straight forward approach which fits with existing measures, the company has made an effective system that will hopefully make it easy for residents to reduce their plastic waste.
