Whoever is producing the plastic at the very top, needs to stop.

Plastic is everywhere. It has accumulated in our very bodies as microplastic.

This is so inspiring, congratulations 👏👏👏. We need more of this

Senselessly! The reason is commerce and human greed. Humanity lived well without plastic and its components and chemicals in everyday life (plastic, detergents, etc. - everything that kills the flora and fauna of the planet). Alternatives - glass, paper, soda, etc. But commerce dictates its own (the clearest example is Teflon).

Easy, stop packaging and wrapping everything in the stores with it. There was a time when plastic wasn't prevalent not so long ago and manufacturers seemed to be able to stock the stores just fine. Its more expensive to use glass and metal containers that's what it really boils down to, greed.

The most logical course of action will be to sort out the problem at it's root. Simply use hemp and sugarcane to make plastic instead of petroleum based ingredients. Then there won't be any more problem :)

We to redifine what is essential to the human body, the problem is there's too much choice, too much consumption and too much waste.

Wow, salute to this team who work hard to find solutions to the plastic waste problem.

amazing young man his agemates are busy on social media doing zero while he is out here finding solutions to a problem that will help our planet there is still hope for humanity

Not one mention of Recycling. Good one BBC.

Great efforts to save our beautiful earth

Plastic to elastic, fantastic

Our environment needs to be saved

Eliminate one time use plastic!

this could really help the planet thank you BBC for giving us this info

Try returnables it works!

The BBC needs to be fixed first!

Nature ❤

Sounds promising 🤞

Governments should pressure large manufacturing companies to adopt plastic alternatives.

Start with making sales of botteled water illegal.

Very simple. Put high price on plastic bags

Big stores just wanted to get rid of staff to maximise profits for share holders and all the small stores had to follow along.

“Men labored all day at the baking of breads and cakes for feasts for the rich and children labored from dawn to midnight and slept all greasy and grimed as they were upon rough pallets on the floor and staggered to the ovens next day, and there was not money enough given to buy a piece of the rich breads they made for others.” - Modern Day USA/Economic Policy + Walmart/THE GOOD EARTH by Pearl S. Buck ?

This is ground breaking 🔥‼️

For obvious reasons the good people of the town of Chillingbourne would never have an issue with plastic.

Can recycle plastic in to greater use like homes or gadgets

Great idea 😮

Can something be urgently done about mitigating the effects of these plastics

Does that mean the Bio matters can use light speed to Mars with the same logic?

This is so amazing

No, make MORE plastic. I throw mine in the sea just to really get that 2nd use out of it.

Great news. Can not wait till I can buy the alternative to plastic in my Supermarkets.

Use less of it. Choose biodegradable food packaging and avoid single use plastic packaging when shopping.

Amazing 👏

Heres a novel idea, we could use paper bags , carboard boxes but not plastic coated and glass bottles, imagine that, sometimes old tech is better 😁😁😁😁😁

All single-use plastic should be banned as soon as possible.

Hello BBC news. Please make this Solution Globally.

By holding the Gas Oil Petrol party and companies accountable for it all, since it's their lies and BS that keeps it coming to consumers too lazy and unwise to stop buying it and believing in "recycling," which is a scam!

the problem actually come to 1 thing, cost. plastic replacement are being researched for years now, but still no change in many places for plastic use. the cost of this replacement isn't as cheap as plastic itself. people might think the companies are to greed, but the actual people that will pay for the cost would be the consumer, and majority of people will choose cheaper products. imagine sudden price raise on everything just for the sake of zero plastic, well, i think we know already about the impact of "sudden price raise" to well. I know that the ideal would be eliminate one time used plastic, but still, until the cost is as low as those plastics, the problem will continue on

We must use alternative like cloth bags and paper bags. If we are purchasing plastic, we must reuse it. We must avoid drinking bottled water which contributes largely to plastic waste. The government must put a plastic ban on the use of plastic.

We can fix our plastic waste problem by stop making plastic products, but greedy rich people don't want to do that.

It's a beginning.

I don't want to hear about problems anymore. I want to hear about solutions not just talked about but being DONE!

Looks promising ❤

Total plastic waste = Per capita plastic waste X Population There are two variables on the right hand side of the equation.

It seems paper is the safest to use

The plastic we have now , ( VERY MUCH) melting or whatever is necessary to make a massive rock . And use that as the basic for Islands , under healthy earth , sand or stones or cement ect . Or make low lands higher before all the oceans are to high to live there anymore , by melting ice everywhere That can happen very quick !

A blanket ban would fix the issue. Who needs plastic bags when you can use paper or cloth? And who needs plastic bottles when you can use glass?

We must search out alternatives to plastic otherwise our progeny would be held in plastic disaster in future.

Reuse method

Solution to Problems of Plastic Wastes in our Environment

That's the BBC's problem alone. Not the rest of us

Top 5 plastic polluting countries: 1. China 🇨🇳, 2. Indonesia, 3. Philippines, 4. Vietnam 🇻🇳, and 5. Thailand. - Thanks, Formosa Plastics!

We need to find a way to turn that into fuel

Hemp plastics

Good night. 👏

Go back to glass, wood and steel. Next!

Can we go back to bottling

I've had 2 jobs in the past in the plastics industry and it's worth billions, they won't stop and listen to the likes of me and you too much money involved.

Don’t we just send it to poorer countries and let them deal with it 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️😡

How to avoid AI taking the Scientists jobs?

Bottled water? A tory scam for wasters and see your local water company sold off!

the energy intense economy clings to disposability as an unquestionable good - as if we couldnt survive (unarticulated assumption) without fast food. Powered Automotivity is the other big unquestioned Sine Qua Non. This is the hardwired idiocy ofthe economic superorganism, whose hold on statehood cannot be loosened

Plastic should be burned for heat in winter instead of littere don the ground to biodegrade. Not all plastic still exists.

Kick all the farmers off the land and mandate us to eat bugs and lab-grown produce or something totally sensible like that...that should "fix" the plastics or whatever...

Poor people problem

TALK ABOUT OVER FISHING

Global depopulation, and the new generations not using plastic

Burn it for fuel

How can we fix our plastic waste problem? Easy to answer: Eat all the plastic and your problem solve. Got it.

💕

We don’t put plastic in the ocean. Africa India and Asia do.

STOP MAKING PLASTIC 🙏🏻

Plastic is not the problem, human nature is the problem

Dump it in Pakistan 🇵🇰 they will build houses 🏡 with it

ask how bbc will show you action news like from ukraine or anywhere else if plastic isn't recycled to get petrol

Err, don't mandate masks for example!

Burn it into carbon and thermal pelletise into gravel.

For a start stop making fashion clothing with plastic.

Just micro-pulverize it, and then fly back and forth across the sky and spread it out over the heads of the naïve and gullible... Or... Maybe not...
