Memorandum
To: Ian John, the Head of Environmental Conservation and Waste Management Authority
From: Lionel Diouga
Date: October 17, 2021
Subject: Proposal for Proper Plastic Waste Management
Introduction
The amount of plastic produced today is about 350 million tones worldwide, and only about 11% of this value is being recycled. With its value, the extent of the plastic population in the environment has increased, and almost every part of the ecosystem has plastic or plastic materials from the land, water, and the air. This is a lot of plastic that may lead to an environmental and climate crisis shortly. The extensive plastic is due to several business values such as cheap production, reliability, and versatility. It can be easily inferred that plastics have become such a part of human life that it would be difficult to do away with them.
Statement of Problem
Plastic production continues, and this colony will continue to occupy our oceans, lakes, and landfills. With more production and companies' inability to take care of their plastics, acceptable methods should be developed to manage the plastic waste in our environment. Companies should seek alternatives to reduce the dependency on plastics, and elimination procedures of plastics on the environment should also be sought out.
Proposed Solution
One possible solution to the reduction is the development of alternatives to reduce plastic usage. With only 11% of the total 350 million tons of plastics wastes being recycled, usage reduction could best mitigate the problem. Therefore, alternative management of plastics should be developed, such as using these wastes to develop other products that could be used in other sectors such as construction and energy production. Personal responsibility is also important to reduce the amount of plastic usage.
Scope
To assess the different methods which can be used to reduce the amount of plastic in the environment, the following topics will be considered:
Which are the major business sectors that use plastic packaging as their major method of packaging products?
What are some of the initiatives they have taken to ensure responsibility for their plastics products?
What sector of the economy can benefit from plastics recycling, and how can plastics wastes be used as an on-demand raw material for other sectors such as energy, construction, or food facility, etc.
Methods
The data to be used in the experiment will be majorly drawn from publications on the effects of plastics on the general environment, the history of plastic usage and other informational websites on the environment, and documentaries on the efforts to combat the plastic pandemic.
Conclusion
There is a dire need to save the environment from plastic wastes. Efforts should be made to find better solutions to problems by both individual, corporate, and government agencies. Using the topic highlighted above, it would be possible to define a better method to reduce plastic wastes.
