Developing Solutions

One of the ways that we can make a difference is through developing solutions.  These solutions vary; they may involve changes to waste management processes, innovative ideas on recycling, or proposals to try and change cultural attitudes to plastic waste.  The fact is that there is no one solution to this problem.  The Plastic Oceans Foundation want to champion and support where possible, these good ideas.  This page provides links and information about some of them.  They are not all necessarily ideal; some may be inefficient, or impractical, others simply too costly.  However, we believe that as many as possible should be discussed, analyzed, critiqued and assessed, as they all may, potentially, be of benefit in our efforts.

Some of the ideas, proposals and inventions are listed in this section.  By utilizing this site as a forum for discussion and database of information we can support the development of solutions.
