Each episode delves into practical solutions for reducing reliance on virgin single-use plastics, implementing effective recycling, and developing reusable packaging systems.
Plastic Pollution affecting Small Island Developing States (SIDS)
Plastic pollution is a global crisis needing a worldwide solution. SIDS suffer the most, facing waste on their shores and their own plastic generation. Urgent action is crucial, emphasises Emma Samson.
Searious Business and the IUCN Draw Up a Blueprint for a Plastic Waste Free Island
Plastic pollution is having a colossal impact on our oceanic ecosystems. Small Island Developing States (SIDS), in particular, experience a deluge of plastic waste either washing up on their beaches or from plastic they generate themselves. These vulnerable economies, primarily dependent on tourism and fishing, can be devastated by pollution. Since 2019, Searious Business has been working with the IUCN on their "Close the Plastic Tap" Program to mitigate plastic pollution on six Caribbean and Pacific islands. Several options and methodologies were shown to work well—but a holistic approach is needed—hence this Blueprint to guide the way.
