Plastic policy @ Portsmouth Address revolutionplastics@port.ac.uk https://www.port.ac.uk/research/themes/sustainability-and-the-environment/revolution-plastics Our planet is suffocating in plastic. Some plastics take more than 400 years to break down, and around 11 million metric tons of plastic ends up in our oceans every year. Half of all plastic becomes waste within a year of being made, yet most isn’t recycled. We need radical action to halt this trend and limit the damaging consequences of plastic pollution on our health and the environment. We’ve got to find solutions to the world's plastic problem. That’s where Revolution Plastics comes in. We’re assembling teams of scientists, business-leaders, campaigners and citizens who share our ambition to transform the way we make, use and dispose of this polluting material.
