Rethinking plastic as a commodity, keeping it in a closed economy and out of landfills for long, is the best way to unclog the world’s oceans.
Forrest notes there are “a manageable” 100 or so major plastic producers using resin from oil and gas companies. And he says he’s contacted them in the early days of the rollout, although potential participants were not yet named. And yes, consumers presumably would shoulder some of the cost, but also keep plastic in the closed system. But, added Forrest, in the interview, it’s about changing consumer minds to think of plastic as a commodity as well: “If you make a bag or a bottle half a cent or a cent more, it’ll make you think about alternative carriers and recycle. Again, thinking commodity, not waste.”
Most of the 350 million-plus metric tons of plastic produced every year enter the world’s terrestrial and marine environments. And best estimates suggest that plastic costs humanity over US$2.2 trillion a year in environmental and social damage, an academic paper in the journal Frontiers in Marine Science says. Forrest, a candidate for a PhD in marine ecology, is one of the contributors.
