Good find on the article about banning plastics. How long will that take to come into play? And it is not all plastics surely?
Further, we have more vehicles on the road than ever before. Most have four tires, some less and some more. That all needs to be removed.
And even recyclable plastic is now raising concerns as we realise they're not actually always viable and fully recyclable. Even at our work place the council charged our lads for putting plastic and cardboard in recycling because it was food packaging - due to grease and contamination it could not be processed they said. (I mean who rinses a pizza box right? Ha). But the point stands all these reusable and recyclable plastics still end up in the system for waste. Packaging as well on goods. And we have not even started on the fact that there is absolutely scope for new feed types to be introduced down the line if needed.
And even if all the above doesn't work, they'll still have a good ten to twenty year run getting rid of all the waste plastic sitting around already.
It is a good article mucker. But I wouldn't worry too much about PHE future IMO.
