Modelling plastic management
“Plastic pollution is a symptom of waste mismanagement,” says the report, which used the Breaking the Plastic Waves Pathway Tool to analyse the disposal of plastic pollution. This tool accounts for the three main components of plastic pollution – open burning of plastic waste, land pollution and marine pollution.
The data were used to model different scenarios for the future of South African plastic management.
