In a recent interview with Recycling Today, the Alliance\u2019s President and CEO Jacob Duer cites a recent estimate that some $80 billion to $120 billion worth of plastic scrap goes unrecycled each year, commenting, \u201cThat\u2019s a significant value loss.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Alliance and its corporate members may not always align its tactics with many advocacy-minded not-for-profits who tend to favor material substation (with a bias against plastic) as a way to cut down on plastic pollution. However, Duer and Alliance director of communications Kim Stengert both say the funds they have raised and disbursed thus far have been directed toward collecting more plastic scrap for recycling, especially in nations with emerging economies where it too often enters the environment.<\/p>\n<p>The Alliance has backed a project in Indonesia that involves creating a trucks-and-bins recyclables and waste collection network in partnership with rural and small city districts there. That MRF has the capacity to process 50 metric tons of what the Alliance describes as postconsumer organic and inorganic materials per day, and as of early August had handled nearly 13,000 metric tons of materials, including more than 1,500 metric tons of plastic.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.recyclingtoday.com\/news\/alliance-end-plastic-waste-duer-recycling-2023-2024-projects\/\">Recycling Today<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/2-450\/\">Alliance to End Plastic Waste thinks globally, acts locally<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[3646,575,761],"class_list":["post-119699","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-alliance","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-plastic-waste"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119699","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=119699"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119699\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=119699"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=119699"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=119699"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
