- The report is officially called: ‘Turning off the Tap: How the world can end plastic pollution and create a circular economy’.
- This report has claimed that about 80% of plastic pollution across the globe can be minimised by 2040.
- It is proposed the first to reduce problematic and unnecessary plastics.
- Secondly, it needs to implement three main market shifts – Reuse, Recycle and Reorient/diversify these plastic products.
- Countries can promote the concept of reusing by providing options such as deposit-return schemes, bulk dispensers, packaging take-back schemes and refillable bottles.
- These methods alone could reduce the amount of plastic pollution by 30% before 2040.
- An additional 20% change can be achieved by making the process of recycling a more stable and profitable business option.
