あらすじ・解説
The flow of plastic waste into rivers, oceans and other natural ecosystems is expected to triple by 2040. Yet, the plastic pollution problem can be solved by taking a systems approach and involving all stakeholders. Join us as we explore solutions across the value chain, how insights can play a role, and what each of us can do to solve this crisis.
For episode 1, Changing Tides with The Incubation Network speaks to Umesh Madhavan, research director at The Circulate Initiative (TCI), a non-profit organization that develops insights and tools to create more circular, inclusive and commercially viable waste management and recycling systems in emerging markets.
“Without drastic action, the flow of plastic waste into the rivers, oceans and other natural ecosystems is expected to triple by 2040. It seems like a huge problem, but it’s not one without solutions and one which can be tackled through collective action.” — Umesh Madhavan
