26 Nov 2019 --- Solutions to the plastic crisis need to focus on preventing more plastic from entering the market and on implementing and supporting zero waste initiatives, alternative delivery systems and reusable products. This is according to the Plastic Atlas, published by the Heinrich Böll Foundation and Break Free From Plastic movement. The atlas delineates the current plastic pollution crisis, considering its impact on human health and climate, as well as ways in which it can be tackled. Speaking to PackagingInsights, Lisa Kuch and Lili Fuhr of the Heinrich Böll Foundation state that the circular economy and plastics cannot be aligned and that plastic needs to be reduced to a minimum in specific applications.
