Observed annually on 5 June, World Environment Day is the largest international day for the environment. Championed by the United Nations Environment Programme, the Day unites millions of inhabitants of Earth to tackle the most urgent global environmental issues. The theme of this year’s event is “Beat Plastic Pollution”.
Besides reducing plastic use, we can also use renewable energy to manage plastic pollution. Here are three areas on how we can address pollution caused by plastics:
- Sustainable Production: Plastic manufacturing requires energy. By using renewable energy in plastic production, we can reduce the carbon footprint of plastics.
- Eco-friendly Recycling: Recycling plants can be powered by renewable energy. In addition, new technologies are making plastic recycling more efficient, including renewable energy powered waste sorting systems and biotechnological solutions that break down plastic polymers.
- Green Transportation: Finished plastic products have to be delivered to consumers. By using transportation powered by renewable energy such as electric vehicles, we reduce the carbon footprint of plastics.
At REDEX, we provide innovative renewable energy solutions that help entities reduce their carbon footprint. Whether you are a plastics manufacturer or vendor along the supply chain, REDEX can support your goal to become more sustainable. Achieve cleaner and greener operations today.
