dc.descriptionSolving plastic pollution will require that all necessary plastics are designed to stay in the economy and be reused and recycled. Designing plastic for circularity in each local setting can increase its inherent value, while improving the profitability of the reuse and recycling industries, boosting uptake and quality of reuse systems and recycled content, and reducing the need for virgin plastic and its associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
