The free-to-download publication spotlights howwider adoption of a circular econ- omy is not only vital for our environment but can also bring new business opportunities. TOMRA’s latest digital book takes the realistic view that plas- tic has become irreplaceable in our everyday lives because of its many advantages, but action is needed urgently to pre- vent an exacerbation of the threat plastic waste is already posing to our oceans and marine life. The crux of the matter, the eBook says, is what we do with the plastic after use, and how plastics re-enter the circular economy. By implementing effective measures in the plastics value chain, we can ensure the long-term health of our economies, communities and en- vironment. TOMRA’s eBook identifies many of the actions that need to be taken to prevent environmental catastrophe. Moreover, it flags-up the necessary actions by all key industry stake- holders in the plastics value chain: chemical and plastics manufacturers, consumer goods companies, retailers, con- sumers, waste management companies, recycling facilities, and legislators. Beyond the environmental benefits of recycling waste, the eBook observes how positive economic shifts can also be expected. Economies which use once-and-discard models are embracing new business opportunities through the ad- vanced sorting technologies that purify and deliver high- quality recyclates.
