ways to change the habits of design, production, consumption and
disposal of plastics around the world.
 showcased their initiatives, learned from each other, and
committed to fight plastic pollution together.
 Plastics bans announced Chile, Botswana, Kenya , Bangladesh and
Peru, while Nigeria will set up recycling plants across the country.
India bans single use plastics.
 Aims to provide support to countries and cities who made these
ambitious commitments, by facilitating the sharing of experiences,
the establishment of new policies and inspiration for new
commitments.

16. United Nations Framework Convention
 The Paris Agreement builds upon the Convention to chart a new course in gobal.
climate change effort.
 The Paris Agreement central aim is to strengthen the global response to the threat
of climate change by keeping a global temperature rise this century well below 2
degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the
temperature increase even further to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
 The Agreement also provides for enhanced transparency of action and support
through a more robust transparency framework.

19. CORPORATE BUSINESSES & INDUSTRIES IN
TACKLING WITH THE ISSUE

20. EXISTING COMPANIES CHANGING WITH
THE CONCERNS
FOOD AND BEVERAGE INDUSTRIES
 78 million metric ton of plastic
packaging produced globally
each year, a mere 14% is
recycled. Lightweight and
floatable,plastics that escapes
collection flows into our ocean
PERSONAL CARE INDUSTRY
 Cosmetic industry produce more
than 120 billion units of
packaging
 500 billion per year global
personal care relies on plastics
 Microplastics
Polyethylene,Polypropylene

21. CLOTHING INDUSTRY
 Microfibres from synthetic
clothes are a major source of
pollution
 Econyl
 An eco-friendly nylon yarn made
from industrial waste, waste
fabric, fishing nets collected from
the ocean
TOY INDUSTRY
 Plastic toy account 90% of the
market with shorter lifespan
 Toy industry hit 20 billion in sales
last year

22. EMERGING COMPANIES TACKLING PLASTIC WASTE

23. SOLUTIONS & POSSIBILITIES WITH PLASTICS

24. SOLUTIONS
 Change of consumer habits
 Use of natural fibres in production industries like packaging, clothing etc
 The development of other synthetic fibres that have easy disposable qualities
 Plastics on black topping roads, shoes and clothings on recycled plastics, bottles as
blocks to make floating and building blocks,

25. Challenges
 Making of plastics costs much lower than recycling of plastic waste
 There are various types of plastics along with their properties. While recycling the
plastics variation cannot be mixed with one another.
 Much energy consumption and pollution when incinerating plastics waste.
 Its utilities are far numerous to minimize its manufacture.

26. INDIVIDUAL CONCERNS, ALTERNATIVES &
SOLUTIONS

27. PLASTICS ARE THE ONE OF THE GREATEST
INVENTIONS OF MANKIND AND ALSO ONE OF THE
GREATEST THREAT TO OUR SURVIVAL.
