Answer to Question #168249 in Management for Michael

Question

environmental impacts of the plastic waste manacle confronting major cities in and suggest one sustainable way to address the situation.

Answer 1

Plastic waste damages ecosystems, smothers coral reefs and fills the bellies of sea life. In the absence of action, the amount of plastic waste produced globally is predicted to triple between 2015 and 2060, to between 155 and 265 million tonnes per year

Recycling in manufacturing. Plastic waste is being put to productive use in both local and global capacities. Simple solutions that local communities are pursuing include using recycled plastic as filler for cement blocks, ropes, and household goods such as baskets and mats. At a larger scale, manufacturers are using recycled plastic and textiles to make clothing and furniture. By using waste materials for products with monetary value such as clothing, shoes, or road construction, society is incentivized to collect plastic and capture its full value.
