Currently, a truck full of one big bin of plastic is buried in the ocean every minute, and plastic-related greenhouse gas emissions are estimated to increase by more than 6.5 gigs. tons by 2050

However, in May, UNEP published a blueprint to reduce plastic waste by 80 percent by 2040. In this blueprint report, there are three main themes covering the 3 Rs:

• 1. Reuse = reusing
• 2. Recycling = going through the production process to reuse
• 3. Reorientation = new changes from the package of plastic to form alternative materials

However, not everyone agrees on the whole process, leading to a debate between countries that want to limit plastic production and the petrochemical industry that wants to enter the recycling process of plastic waste. with some small groups In some countries informally united under the name “High Ambition Coalition” or a strong common goal. This includes EU countries, Japan, Chile and small island nations. All of these come together to call for a worldwide focus on reducing plastic use and the plastics manufacturing industry. as well as limiting the use of certain types of hazardous chemicals

Norway is another world leader in the recycling of plastic bottles. by setting up a project to exchange money for plastic bottles In Norway, 97 percent of all plastic bottles are recycled. Even plastic bottles from other countries are not excluded. in the Scandinavian region as well It found that recycled plastic bottles were reused more than 50 times, while an environmental survey in Norway found that less than 1 per cent of plastic bottles were landfilled, making Norway a recycling country. The most plastic bottles in the world

environmental tax Why Norway has successfully controlled plastic bottles

An interesting question is why Norway has been so successful in keeping plastic bottles from becoming a waste in the country. That’s because Norwegian law dictates how much plastic bottle manufacturers can recycle. They only pay very little environmental tax. For example, if they produce 95 percent, they pay almost no tax. This has been happening for the past 11 years. A year ago while on the consumer side Plastic bottled beverages usually have a tax added to the price of the product. But if that person returns the empty bottle to the government facility will get money back which is both in cash and from credit card And at this time, Norway is also working hard on aluminum recycling.
