Plastics in a circular society
Research project funded by Formas (the Swedish Research Council for Sustainable Development)
The world is grappling with the plastic crisis, where the continuous expansion of production, consumption and waste of this fossil-dependent material are simultaneously warming up and polluting our planet.
“Plastics in a circular society” explores initiatives that directly confront unsustainable plastic practices, transforming the ways we produce, (re)use, recycle and govern plastics, as well as relate to this material altogether. We study multiple solutions that these initiatives bring in to address the plastic crisis, how they are organised, and their potentials to foster an ecologically sustainable and socially just future.
