Can the world do without plastic?

The answer lies in an approach based on the circular economy, recycling, reuse and the use of recycled materials to create recyclable products.

The environmental impact of plastic is linked to the way we use and manage it. By adopting sustainable practices, we can reduce plastic waste and preserve natural resources. The circular economy encourages the design of sustainable products and their re-use, while recycling transforms plastic waste into new raw materials.

Although the world can significantly reduce its reliance on plastic and promote sustainable alternatives, it is unlikely that it will be able to do without it altogether. It is essential to adopt a balanced approach by finding ways to reuse, recycle and responsibly manage plastics, while encouraging innovation and the adoption of more environmentally-friendly solutions.

By rethinking our relationship with plastics, we can build a future without compromising functionality and innovation.
