Now much has been said during this rich discussion and we are all in agreement that plastic pollution is something we must end. But dealing with plastic pollution isn\u2019t just about saving marine wildlife. Today, we produce vast amounts of plastic for single use. We take the hydrocarbon material out of the belly of the earth and the environment and introduce the new product \u2013 plastic \u2013 into the economy. And once we are done with it, we discard it back into the environment as garbage or we burn it causing harmful emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unep.org\/news-and-stories\/speech\/circular-solutions-plastic-pollution-crisis\">More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A comprehensive circular approach would ensure that plastic, a material that is both durable and versatile, would not be designed for single use, but once introduced into the economy it remains there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"kc_post_selected_socio_id":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[26],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-42460","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news-from-the-world"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
