What do we do if plastic waste can't be reused or upcycled? In our latest article, we explore the option of #incineration and highlight the challenges and opportunities, the legal framework and regulations around #waste-to-energy plants.

What is bioaccumulation?⁉️

Over time, plastic degrades into smaller and smaller pieces from ‘micro’ to ‘nano plastics’. These plastic pieces are then consumed by marine life and build up in their body tissue.

Did you know, every week, we are consuming on average 5g of plastic, which is an equivalent of a credit card?

In Norway, we throw away 540 000 tonnes of plastic every year and only 62% of the plastic waste from households is suitable for recycling ♻.

This is why a circular plastic model is necessary to designs out waste and pollution, and incorporate reusable materials in products 💚

Change towards a circular system has many challenges as well as opportunities, and there isn't just one solution to tackle plastic waste. However, adopting a circular mindset that plastic waste can be a resource is a good start for change.

Let's find smarter ways to design and produce using plastic and/or its substitutes. Read this latest guide from Dezeen for inspiration.

There's no place like the beach.

Walking along the beach brings back fond memories for most of us.

So let's keep our beaches clean.

Did you know that black #plastic is hard to #recycle because is not identifiable by automatic sorting machines?

Green Dot Norway and other sorting companies are working together to find a solution for this. But it will take time.

Think twice when purchasing #blackplastic.
