Only 5-6% of Plastic Is Recycled

What is the solution to plastic pollution, then…?!

Incredible investment, recognition of the problem and advancement of technology and waste management is the solution.

Ban all plastics..

I have stainless steel bottles and will use them more in public to showcase that there are other options besides water bottles.

Plastics are not recycled… no, they are often downcycled into lower-quality plastics or end up in landfills!

@Yimpa stricter quotas on manufacturers to reduce plastic usage but this will mean the price will go up for ordinary consumers. It’s worth it though

Local, state, and national laws banning single use plastics from things like takeout would be a start. A timetable and eventual deadline for packaging for stuff like food and consumer items to switch over the biodegradable plastics seems like a no-brainer. Public funding towards R &D for more economical forms of biodegradable plastics, and plastic alternatives, would also be worthwhile.
