Keeping to the boundaries

The continued growth of plastics production is further exacerbating the triple planetary crisis of habitat loss, plastic pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. In the study "Towards circular plastics within planetary boundaries", scientists from RWTH Aachen, ETH Zurich and the University of California show that high recycling rates combined with the use of biomass and CO2 could lead to sustainable plastics production. The study was published in the journal "Nature Sustainability".
