📢BBC News - Banning plastic in a bid to cut pollution & tackle climate change could cause environmental damage, a team of academics have claimed. Instead of bans, more effort should be put into re-using and recycling plastics.

@SabinePahl
, Prof of Urban & Environmental Psychology, Vienna, spoke about people's relationship with plastics which is multifaceted.
Regarding the effectiveness of recycling campaigns, she believes they are effective, but they are only addressing a small part of the issue.
"I am very pleased to see that the
#plastics
industry is ready to assume its responsibilities and play its role. Together, we can win this battle to the benefit of a much more resource-efficient and sustainable economy, profitable to all".
