[1] True False One of the key research themes of CAPSA is “plastic design and alternative.” Based on online research, write a short note on how R&D in this area can help reduce plastic waste and pollution. [4] The “plastic design and alternative” theme of CAPSA can be implemented in numerous ways. First, the plastic deign should prohibit the designing of plastics that have plastic beads. Micro beads are common in some body washes, face scrubs, and toothpastes which can make them leaking into the ocean through sewers. The deigning of plastic bags without microbeads will play a major role in reducing plastic wastes and pollution. For plastic design, policymakers and consumers need to understand that the flow of disposable plastics should be stopped and be replaced by more sustainable carrier bags. Sustainable use carrier bag should replace the single use, throw away plastic bags that are currently being widely used (Van Sebille, Spathi, & Gilbert, 2016). For example, consumer products could be packaged in alternative material like alternative technologies or natural materials like paper, cotton, and wood to be complemented by algae, fungi, or even pineapple leaves. Some habits like cooking more at home will reduce the number of plastics food containers disposed to contaminate the environment. The people should be educated from buying bottled water, but instead, they should carry re-usable water bottles. This will help reduce marine contamination from plastic bags and synthetic clothing, thus reducing plastic wastes and pollution. References Van Sebille, E., Spathi, C., & Gilbert, A. (2016).
