Why a circular economy for all materials is the only way to solve the plastic problem.
This report outlines why the plastic problems cannot be solved without:
1. A systematic approach to all materials
2. Addressing the root problems of our throwaway culture
The publication emphasises priority actions of paper, aluminium, steel, glass and both conventional and compostable plastics.
It provides an in-depth analysis into areas such as bio-based and compostable plastic, plastic recycling technology,
reusable systems and plastic tax and urges the government to widen its policy focus to tackle all resources and all environmental impacts
in a more systematic approach.
