Circular Plastic Economy - Thematic Research

Summary

We live in an era where our daily life is unimaginable without plastic. This extensive dependency on a non-biodegradable material has led to steady accumulation of plastic waste over the last several decades. This necessitates formulation of a sustainable and environment-friendly approach to develop a circular plastic economy for production and disposal of this ubiquitous material. To achieve a successful circular plastic economy in the long run, various stakeholders need to collaborate across various value chains. And finally, there should be efforts put in to create greater awareness among the populace for minimizing the wastage of plastics. In this report we predominantly focus on plastic as a commodity that needs to be molded to fit the parameters of a circular economic model.
