Best measure
What if we took all the plastic to the recycling center?
What if you throw the bag away with mixed waste?
Plastic is present in almost all aspects of modern life: from water bottles to airplanes. However, it is now considered an environmental evil because of the havoc plastic waste wreaks. We see them on our streets, in our rivers and lakes, on our beaches and even in the deepest oceans.
Many environmental activists are calling for a ban on plastic. However, the properties that make plastic so dangerous - its durability and long service life - also determine its value. A material that does not spoil for three hundred years is valuable. We can use it almost endlessly. The problem is not in the plastic itself. The problem is that we use it irresponsibly.
Continuously recyclable material is a huge help to the environment and the economy. The solution is not to ban plastic, but to ensure its responsible use and proper recycling. However, the recycling of plastics is a complex problem.
There are many different types of plastic, each of which requires its own recycling process. Some of these types of plastics are not even recyclable. The process of collecting and sorting plastic in Ukraine has many nuances, including low technological potential and public ignorance about disposal.
Garbage-to-money transformation plan is the need of our time. It is necessary to create a comprehensive legal and political framework for the regulation and commercialization of the plastic recycling process. The plastics industry has a responsibility to raise the necessary social awareness about responsible use and recycling. If humanity understands the value of plastic, then in some time you will not find a piece of plastic waste anywhere.
Humanity must realize that reuse and recycling are very important. Environmental problems are not an obligation - our lives depend on them. Our body itself is an extract of this planet. Preserving and developing the Earth is no different from creating a good life for yourself. Our life is an integrated, connected life. There can be no good life without a good planet.
Our ideas about development and economics have led us out of this reality. It's time to understand that whimsical ideas about life and the world no longer work. We should do something more mature. This maturity must come from business, industry and government. In our life, if we do not do what we cannot do, it is not a problem. But if we don't do what we can, it's a disaster.
