Rethinking the Way We Use Plastics
Filmed at GLG London
What can lawmakers and corporations do to reduce the environmental impact of plastics? Despite initiatives like bottle deposits, plastic bag taxes, and low plastic water bottles, a staggering 95% of all plastic products are thrown away every year after just one use—according to industry expert Paul Hodges. He believes “we’ve come to a fork in the road,” not simply about how we use plastics, but also how we keep them in use for longer. GLG sits down with Paul Hodges in London to discuss the plastics industry, waste management, and more.
