AGORATALK: The origins and future of our plastic pollution crisis (EN)

By Prof. Dr. Louis Pitet

By continuously discarding huge quantities of plastic waste, not only are we destroying our natural environment at an accelerating rate, but we are throwing away resources with an enormous potential value. Strategies toward biobased materials and increased recycling are essential to address our plastic pollution crisis. Injecting new life into waste streams is critically important for improving the plight of marine and land environments. Furthermore, drastic reduction of virgin fossil-based feedstocks is critical for reducing the impact of plastic manufacturing on the climate.
