(GUF) YOU MAKE IT, YOU UNMAKE IT

If you make it, you must unmake it.

We produce approximately 460 million tonnes of plastics a year, most with no credible exit strategy. It's time for a polymer antidote rule - every polymer must ship with a proven, scalable end-of-life “antidote” - a disassembly route, a safe chemical breakdown or a guaranteed reuse loop.

No antidote means no market access. Performance bonds, modulated EPR, Digital Product Passports, audited recovery at real-world scale. It's time the plastics industry stopped designing problems and started designing the solutions. (Science Direct) - link - more like this (plastics) - link - more like this (random) - link
