安德魯福雷斯特: 終止廢棄塑膠的徹底變革計畫

終止廢棄塑膠的徹底變革計畫

企業家安德魯福雷斯特說，對經濟來說，塑膠是一種很了不起的物質－對環境來說則是最糟糕的物質。在這場應該會觸發辯論的演說中，福雷斯特和 TED 策展人克里斯安德森討論了一個很有野心的計畫，讓世界上最大的公司來資助一項環境革命－並將產業轉變，從回收材料取得所有塑膠，而非化石燃料。

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.
