Thinking outside the bottle to drive a sustainable future paid SAP
This problem is everyone’s problem. Fortunately, the world is starting to take action. Recently, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeauthat “Canada will ban harmful single-use plastics as early as 2021 in a bid to reduce ocean waste.”
Canada is hardly alone. The European Union and other nations passed similar legislation last year. This is encouraging. Our most realistic hope of addressing this problem lies in collective action at national and international scales. Ultimately, any initiative to address this problem will have much to do with managing the supply chain for plastic goods.
Drive a circular economy, where the emphasis is on the re-use and recycling of packaging materials and products at the end of their life, instead of waste at the end of a linear supply chain process.Focus on plastic bottles While plastic waste comes in all forms, one particular culprit is the disposable plastic water bottle. An inspiration for how to address our current challenges with these water bottle comes from British breweries hundreds of years ago. Back then, brewers were presented with the challenge of distributing perishable beer across the country at a time when the costs of distribution were quite high.
It’s hard to believe, but Birmingham in the west Midlands has more canals than Venice. These canals were used to transport reusable barrels across the country using minimal energy. Every barrel was recycled. Every effort was made to distribute product economically and retain its quality.By being similarly innovative with our distribution efforts for water, today’s supply chain can play a critical role in helping to minimize plastic pollution in our oceans.
