PLASTIC WASTE MANAGEMENT

 Plastics provide important benefits to society. Shell has seen that unmanaged plastic waste has become a serious problem. We want to play an active role in finding lasting solutions.

 

PLASTIC WASTE MANAGEMENT


Medicines, detergents, textiles and plastics. Petrochemical products are a small part of thousands of finished products. Among them, petrochemical products are a key ingredient that more and more people in the world like and need. Shell produces basic chemicals (ethylene, propylene and aromatics), which are the raw materials for these finished products.

Plastics have important health, safety and sustainability advantages. They help improve living standards, hygiene and nutrition in all parts of the world. They are widely used in healthcare, construction, transportation, electronics, agriculture, and sports. Plastics are usually associated with
disposable and disposable packaging. But many products have different long-term uses, such as pipes, window frames, sports equipment, and roofs.

Compared with the glass, paper and metal they replace, most use fewer resources and have a lower carbon footprint. For example, high-efficiency plastic insulation materials and lightweight plastic components in cars and airplanes can save energy and avoid carbon dioxide emissions. Plastics are an indispensable part of renewable energy construction, such as wind turbines and solar panels.

Waste problem

Shell is concerned about the global plastic waste problem. In some places, waste management infrastructure and traditional recycling do not exist, or plastic waste is poorly managed. Therefore, plastic garbage will eventually become garbage.

Plastic does not belong to our oceans, rivers or landscapes. They belong to our families, hospitals, schools, and businesses, and they benefit hundreds of millions of people around the world every day.

The whole society-industry, government and consumers need to work together to solve this problem.

We want to play an active role in finding lasting solutions to this challenge
