The companies commitments with sustainable packaging goals, 2025 is fast approaching. That’s the year when many have pledged to become zero waste, or to use 100 percent reusable, recyclable or compostable packaging Yet, at the same time, the pandemic has led to a surge in environmental and sustainability awareness by showing how much carbon emissions can drop, or wildlife can flourish, when the world’s economic engine slows down.
Recycling plays a crucial role in the quest to end plastics waste and move to a circular economy. Industry leaders say that traditional, mechanical, and chemical recycling methods are needed. While chemical recycling shows promise experts also seek to improve the ability of thermoplastics to be recycled via the traditional processes of sorting collected material, …
Time To Redesign & Rethink Recycling In The New Normal Read More »
Plastics play a key role in protecting people, especially front line workers, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Informal waste pickers are particularly vulnerable to the coronavirus pandemic. Corporations are rethinking recycling plans and sustainability commitments in the face of economic turmoil. The increase in single-use plastics will have long-term impacts. However which single use plastics will be not banned needs to be seen
Dr. Sameer Joshi of AMCOR talks about the Seven Pillars of Sustainability and why a unified approach of the packaging industry is necessary to fight global warming.
The paper deliberates two concepts; the first is in using data to understand our world, which, by the way, is becoming increasingly important as a science from which we can derive trends to create models and forecasts. The second is our human footprint, an increasingly valid means to justify implementing circular systems into our economy and everyday lives.
‘It is widely recognised that plastics have a crucial role to play in delivering a more sustainable future. Through their unique combination of light-weight, durability and other intrinsic properties, plastic materials already contribute to reduce GHG emissions making a more efficient use of our resources across a range of different sectors and everyday applications. As …

An Insight on Design for Recycled Content has been prepared by Sameer Joshi.
An insight on “Policymakers And Plastics Management Systems” is proposed by Dr Sameer Joshi that throws light on the vital role played by the policy makers in the transition towards plastics systems.
The main objective of the Plastic Zero project was to reduce wasteful use of plastic made from fossil-based oil, save non-renewable resources and enable carbon neutral energy production from waste.
