A recent study commissioned by WWF and conducted by Earth Action indicates that eliminating or gradually discontinuing harmful plastic items could lead to $4.7–$8 trillion in worldwide savings from 2025 to 2040
Concerning Research on Prohibiting Challenging Plastics:
Authorized by: World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF)
Executed by: Earth Action (EA) utilizing the Plasteax dataset
Aim: Evaluate expenses, advantages, and schedules of instant prohibitions compared to gradual strategies for the removal of high-risk plastic items.
Main Insights:
Enormous Savings: As much as $8 trillion saved with an instant worldwide ban, $7 trillion through a gradual ban, and $4.7 trillion using a staggered approach.
Plastics Focused On: Covers expanded polystyrene, PVC, polystyrene containers, and disposable products such as straws and cotton swabs.
Environmental Benefits: Projected decrease of 173–224 million tonnes in plastic consumption and 51–74 million tonnes in improperly managed waste.
Economic Consequences: Continuing with standard plastic usage could incur costs of $10 trillion (2025–2040), while a ban would only result in $2 trillion, with $50 billion in savings on waste management.
Private Sector Expense: The transition will incur $143 million, balanced by future savings and emerging market prospects.
