Endru Forest (Andrew Forrest): Radikalan plan - kako okončati plastični otpad

Radikalan plan - kako okončati plastični otpad

Plastika je neverovatna supstanca za ekonomiju, a ujedno i najgora moguća za životnu sredinu, tvrdi preduzetnik Endru Forest. U razgovoru sa ciljem da se pokrene debata, Forest i direktor TED-a Kris Anderson (Chris Anderson) diskutuju o ambicioznom planu da najveće kompanije sveta finansiraju revoluciju u životnoj sredini i tranziciju industrije ka proizvodnji reciklirane plastike, umesto od fosilnih goriva.

Plastic pollution is choking rivers and oceans, with nanoplastics now entering human bodies and harming marine life. By 2025, the weight of plastic in oceans could reach one ton for every three tons of fish. The problem lies in virgin plastic being cheaper than recycled, making waste a burden instead of a resource. Raising the cost of new plastic just slightly could unlock billions for cleanup, recycling, and new jobs worldwide.
