Plastic

Is disgusting really what we are doing to our oceans. And it will come back to bite us.

Even if we stopped any plastic getting into the oceans tomorrow there would still be this problem. And we know that we'll never happen!

Norway have it right. Most other countries just think of the short term and money. No one wants to put tax up to sort this.

We really don't want to pollute our oceana behind repair.

Don't forget germany, incredable recycling.forward thinking like normal which is why their economy will grow and ours won't do anywhere near as well.
 
What moral crusade? The crusade to keep going but charge consumers for the problem? That's not an ideology dripping in morals.

You're right of course, I'm not expecting much in the immediate future but I think something fundamental has to change to solve the problem. I work in the corrugated packaging industry and the decision by China to stop taking waste is shaking up the industry, especially for those who use PET as part of the process.
 
There is undoubtedly a problem with plastics but there is a political need for. “crisis” to get changes made in the modern World and the environmental lobby always needs a new hobby horse. Plastics could effectively be dealt with through incineration but we’re wedded to the idea of recycling which isn’t cheap. Reduced packaging and bio degradable packaging are sensible policies and we should legislate for there greater phased introduction. Dealing with the legacy problem though is going to be difficult.

Indeed. Their culture is so driven to it if anyone drops litter they are called out.
It's shameful we are so far behind simply due to short sighted greed
