3. Sustainability in Plastic Waste Management

Your coffee cup, water bottle, shoping bag, or toothbrush are all made of plastic. Plastics are everywhere and many times hard to substitute. When you dispose your plastic waste, you hope that it follows the right route, so you are not part of the global plastic waste issue. But the sad fact is, that we know little about the fate of our plastic waste.

The Lecture for Future series on Sustainability in Plastic Waste Management is offering insights about the current state of plastic waste management, with a focus on the European situation. Here you will learn more about plastic waste management options; the main hindrances to the full exploitation of plastic waste´s potential as a resource; and the potential and advantages of plastic recycling.
