A NUMBER OF GLOBAL INITIATIVES DRIVE PUBLIC AWARENESS AND SEARCH FOR SOLUTIONS

Increased focus on plastic pollution globally and in Europe…

  • December 2017, UN called for their member nations to prevent and significantly reduce marine pollution of all kinds by 2025
  • − Container Deposit Schemes (CDS) was explicitly mentioned as a preventive solution for marine littering
  • May 2018, EU proposed a draft regulation as a part of their plastic strategy that targets 10 single use plastic products
  • − The use of plastic food containers and drinks cups will have to be reduced and a return rate of 90% on single-use plastic drink bottles by 2025
  • European Federation of Water Bottle Producers pledged commitment to increased use of recycled PET (rPET) in their bottle production in support of the shift towards a more circular European economy
  • Minimum of 25% rPET into the production of new bottles

… and at the same time China upholds stringent thresholds on waste import

  • July 2017, China announced a policy called National Sword, which limits the import of contaminated recyclable commodities and increases inspections of recyclable commodity imports
  • − This has created a short term demand for recycling solutions locally in the exporting countries (US, Europe etc)

A large increase in number of influential public figures supporting industrial transition to a Greener Economy suggesting preventive solutions like Container Deposit Schemes
