SOLVING THE OCEAN PLASTIC CRISIS

Taking collective global action

SENIOR INDUSTRY LEADERS WILL SHARE THEIR INSIGHTS

300 million tonnes of plastic waste are produced globally each year of which 8
million tonnes ends up in the ocean. The UNEP predicts that by 2050 there will
be more plastic in the ocean than fish. Scientists have warned that we have now
reached a tipping point, meaning sudden, substantial and irreversible changes
are likely to occur. 

 Paradoxically, plastic can be the more environmental choice. Transporting and
recycling glass can have a higher carbon footprint, aluminium carries a
different set of environmental concerns and plastic is a cost-effective and
protective packaging material. While the impact of ocean plastic is undisputedly
negative, the usefulness of plastic remains. 

As we approach COP26, consensus on how to address this crisis is unclear. The
billions of plastic masks, gloves, PPE and swabs used every month as a result of
the pandemic only increase the urgency to act. A dual approach must be taken to
clean the ocean of the plastic and microplastic already there and prevent any
more from entering. Coordinated and proactive action needs to take place on a
global, governmental and corporate level, as relying on consumer choices is not
enough. 

This interview and panel discussion hosted by the Financial Times in partnership
with SC Johnson and Conservation International focused on actionable strategies
for addressing the ocean plastic crisis.
