3- CONECTIONS - Complexity in Sustainability (10-15 years)

Welcome to interactive presentation, created with Publuu. Enjoy the reading!

To tackle the problem of plastic pollution and marine litter,

we need to start thinking about plastics in a whole new

way. Instead of just looking at the immediate impact of

plastic waste, we need to consider the entire life cycle of

plastic products.

This means looking at all the stages involved in creating

and using plastic, from sourcing the raw materials to

disposing of the product at the end of its life. By doing this,

we can identify the key areas where plastic waste is created

and fnd ways to reduce it.

We also need to consider all the potential impacts of

plastic, such as how it afects the environment,

ecosystems, and people's health. By taking a broader

perspective, we can make informed decisions about which

plastic products are best for the environment and which

ones we should avoid.

Finally, we need to consider the trade-ofs between

environmental impacts and economic sustainability. By

looking at the entire life cycle of plastic, we can identify the

best solutions for the environment that also have positive

social and economic implications.

So, by taking a life cycle approach to plastic, we can work

towards a more sustainable future, where plastic waste is

minimized, and the environment and people's wellbeing

are protected.

Today, Europe aims for a transition from a linear to a

circular economy where products are kept in the circle

after their use to reduce waist

Nigeria is kickstarting a circular economy for electronics,

creating safe employment for over 100,000 people. What

is your country doing to tackle e-waste?
