@mbrushstocks @circulareconomy A deposit return scheme for PET in Africa would go a long way. On the material value alone, in Kenya for example, you have to collect around 30 bottles to make the same 5 cents. It's not fair and it's not going to beat plastic pollution. (The recycling process is expensive too.)
"What was considered radical thinking in the past looks inadequate today, and so there is still a huge amount more to be done.” 🔥🔥🔥 Congratulations for delivering such impactful work @Dom_Hogg eunomia.co.uk/dr-dominic-hog…
@mbrushstocks @circulareconomy A key challenge in Africa is the lack of waste collection. The material value of plastic isn't enough to cover the costs fairly. I think avoiding the waste in the first place with a PET re-use scheme, like in Latin America, would work better. #reducereuserecycle #plasticpollution
@RitaIdehai Take a look at @Compostwali, their approach to home composting is ace 🌱🌻 Also for #composttwitter I recommend following @RPlanaCompost and @CarbonClarity 🌞🌿
@chemistvictor @RitaIdehai Agree 100% @chemistvictor - too many to name them all (you included of course), but I do my best to follow and retweet.
I have an enormous amount of respect for ppl like @RitaIdehai who set up #recycling businesses in places with no municipal #wastecollection, nor legal & fiscal incentives. You are trailblazers! So much harder than in countries with supporting infrastructure & laws. Kudos 🙌♻️ twitter.com/RitaIdehai/sta…
RT @WasteAid We are hugely disappointed that the UK government has broken its commitment on foreign aid. The crises facing our planet: climate change, plastic pollution, and disease, do not respect national borders. A global Britain can and should do better. twitter.com/WasteAid/statu…
Sachets! 😖 Not recyclable, anywhere in the world. We're seeing more & more in UK, Nigeria, Indonesia... pretty much everywhere. It can only mean one thing... #plasticpollution. twitter.com/aplastic_plane…
RT @kirstyjmcneill A thread for everybody interested in whether @BorisJohnson and @RishiSunak are intent on breaking a manifesto promise from the @Conservatives to both the country and some of the poorest people in the world and cutting our life-saving, world-changing #UKAid.
