Vancouver market uses embarrassing plastic bags to promote going plastic-free. East West Market in Vancouver has thought of a new and creative way to discourage customers from using single-use plastic bags.
In addition to charging their customers for using plastic bags, the East-West Market has printed embarrassing texts on their sides. If the guilt of using plastic instead of reusable bags doesn’t get to you, the cringe-worthy shame of walking around with a bag that says ‘Into the Weird Adult Video Emporium’ or ‘The Colon Care Co-op’ certainly should. The independent grocery store specialises in gourmet goods and locally-sourced products. They’ve been serving the community since 1996 and hope to encourage customers to bring their reusable bags when they go shopping. “So many people own reusable bags but forget to bring them,” said David Lee Kwen, East West’s owner, “We want to help customers remember their reusable bags in a way that will really stick with them.”

But some two months before this massive movement began, a quiet revolution was already underway. Single-use plastics a serious climate change hazard, study warns.

A: With the involvement and enthusiasm of people like you, recycling is back and so are thousands upon thousands of recycled products made from materials that would otherwise be piling up in our nation's landfills. It makes a huge difference to our environment, our quality of life, and our country's future.
Why It's Important As stewards of the environment, we are responsible for preserving and protecting our resources for ourselves and for future generations. Getting Back To Basics. Climate Technology Centre & Network. Over half of the energy consumption of the glass industry is used for melting in order to form the glass.
Adding recycled glass to the raw materials reduces energy use and CO2 emissions. Another advantage is that less raw material is needed. Currently, the world-average glass recycling rate is about 50%. Higher recycling rates are possible, especially in regions where the recovery rate is still low. Introduction The virgin raw materials for glass production are mainly silica sand, soda ash and limestone. Over half of the energy consumption in the glass production process is used for melting. Energy calculator. An empty bottle is full of energy, and the environmental impact of returning your empties is much bigger than many realize.

Taking a dive into the Great Pacific Garbage Patch - ClonedTomra. eXXpedition will sail through the gyre of plastic pollution known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, with the aim of raising awareness of and solutions for the environmental and health impacts of single-use plastic in the world’s oceans.
As eXXpedition explains, their goal is “to make the unseen seen, from the toxins in our bodies to the plastics in our seas”. Read on to learn more about the trash gyres in our oceans, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and why a team of awesome women are spending several weeks of their summer documenting it. What are the gyres? There exist five major zones in the world’s oceans where large amounts of plastic accumulate, these are often called ocean gyres. They are found in almost every ocean on the planet; the North and South Pacific, the North and South Atlantic and the in the Indian Ocean. The largest of these is called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, located halfway between Hawaii and California. Breaking down the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Quantifying environmental benefits of recycled plastic - Plastics Recycling Update. Researchers have calculated substantial upsides from making products out of recycled PET, HDPE and PP instead of prime plastics.
For example, using RPET may generate half the greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) of virgin plastic, according to preliminary data released by Franklin Associates. The reductions may be even greater for recycled polyolefins. Franklin Associates is conducting the research on behalf of the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR). APR’s president, Steve Alexander, noted that brand owners will be able to reference the data to calculate progress toward their sustainability goals when they use recycled plastic. He called the life cycle inventory research “a critical tool to utilize and market the value of recycled materials.” “We need this information today more than ever if we want to continue to grow and develop the market for recycled plastics,” he said.

It will reduce the environmental damage bill by €22 billion - the estimated cost of plastic pollution in Europe until 2030.” "Europe now has a legislative model to defend and promote at international level, given the global nature of the issue of marine pollution involving plastics.
The Measure of Things. Single-use plastics: New EU rules to reduce marine litter. Why is the Commission proposing a new Directive to tackle marine litter? More than 80% of marine litter is plastics. The European Commission is proposing new EU-wide rules that target the 10 single-use plastic products most often found on Europe's beaches and seas, as well as lost and abandoned fishing gear. These products are the biggest part of the problem.

This includes single-use burger boxes, sandwich boxes or food containers for fruits, vegetables, desserts or ice creams. Member states will draft national plans to encourage the use of products suitable for multiple use, as well as re-using and recycling.
EU Plastics Strategy: Commission welcomes voluntary pledges from industry to boost the market for recycled plastics and encourages further action. Following an EU-wide pledging campaign as part of the European Plastics Strategy, today the European Commission has given a preliminary assessment which shows that EU industry is significantly committed to recycling plastics - at least 10 million tons of recycled plastics could be supplied by 2025 if the pledges are fully delivered. However, on the demand side, only 5 million tons are expected so far, demonstrating that more will be needed to achieve the objective of a well-functioning EU market of recycled plastics. First Vice-President Frans Timmermans, responsible for sustainable development, said: "To get to a circular plastics economy, it is essential that more recycled plastics find their way into new products.
While we are very grateful for the variety of contributions we received from different industry representatives, more needs to be done. Preliminary analysis indicates that pledges from recyclers would give enough recycled plastics to reach the EU target by 2025. Vienkartiniai plastikiniai gaminiai.

Coca-cola-pepsi-nestle-plastic-pollution-leaked-letter-water-down-laws-a8590916. Some of the world’s biggest plastic polluters have lobbied EU member states in an attempt to water down legislation aimed at tackling the global plastics crisis. A leaked letter signed by Coca-Cola, Nestlé, PepsiCo and Danone urges member states of the Council of the EU to scrap a proposal to force companies to make sure plastic bottle caps are not detachable. Currently, bottle caps are among the most pernicious of plastic waste and are some the most commonly found items in beach cleanups around the world. Consumers throw bottles away and the caps detach before washing up on beaches or breaking down into microplastics which are harmful to marine life.
European leaders are currently considering a plan to introduce so-called mandatory tethered caps, which are fixed to the bottle, by 2025. Bottled Water and Energy Fact Sheet. Gleick 2009 Environ.

As plastic grabs more focus on the international agenda, the momentum behind deposit return systems for beverage containers continues to grow. In July, the Scottish Government launched a public consultation on deposits to gather stakeholder opinions on how such a scheme for Scotland should work. In addition, some of the world’s biggest economies are considering the strategy, and the Indian state of Maharashtra has already established a deposit network with endorsement by Erik Solheim, head of UN Environment.
Plastic Statistics. Recycle ▶ The Facts: Plastic. A million bottles a minute: world's plastic binge 'as dangerous as climate change'. A million plastic bottles are bought around the world every minute and the number will jump another 20% by 2021, creating an environmental crisis some campaigners predict will be as serious as climate change.
New figures obtained by the Guardian reveal the surge in usage of plastic bottles, more than half a trillion of which will be sold annually by the end of the decade. The demand, equivalent to about 20,000 bottles being bought every second, is driven by an apparently insatiable desire for bottled water and the spread of a western, urbanised “on the go” culture to China and the Asia Pacific region.
