Anyone can make plastic anywhere in the world and sell anywhere else in the world. In order to resolve the plastic packaging problem we need to effectively rethink the entire system. From one which is linear by take – make – dispose to on by recovered and fed back to economy as a valuable plastic material. The ultimate goal of the new plastic economy is to design an economy where plastic never becomes waste. And to do that we need every player in the chain to change the way they do things.

 REDUCE
Choose to buy fewer things in a package in non-recyclable plastic

 REUSE
Think reusable! A lot of plastics can be used more than once.

 RECYCLE
Use the recycling programmes in your city. But a lot of recyclable stuff gets thrown away. Stuff like cloth and shoes full of plastic fibers. So why not donate them?

 RETHINK
If you build or make things ask if there is another way to do it without using disposable plastics

 REPAIR
If you own something plastic and it breaks try to repair it rather than throw it away

 REFUSE
Just say no to disposable plastics like straws, forks and plastic bags
