The increasing spread of plastic waste and microplastics in rivers and oceans has become a global challenge and requires immediate action from the industrialised world. The VDI is therefore actively campaigning for technology transfer in the field of plastic waste utilisation to emerging countries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Together with the Society for International Cooperation<\/strong> (GIZ), VDI experts worked with representatives of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development<\/strong> (BMZ) and the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety<\/strong>\u00a0(BMU) at a workshop at the BMZ in Bonn on strategies to accelerate such technology transfer.<\/p>\n

As a first step, the experts recommend a German technology transfer for plastic waste utilisation<\/strong> to Brazil. The Brazilian Amazon ranks sixth among the ten rivers that are the main source of plastics entering the world's oceans.<\/p>\n

With a market volume of approx. 6.6 million tonnes of plastics<\/strong> In addition, Brazil has a volume that is absolutely controlled plastic waste recycling<\/strong> required.<\/p>

Initial measures<\/h2>\n

Technology transfer includes both the Introduction of logistical collection systems<\/strong> for used plastic packaging and products (such as the yellow bin in Germany) as well as the Development of sorting and recycling capacities<\/strong> in Brazil. To this end, the BMZ will be examining the political framework conditions in the coming months.<\/p>\n

In addition to the worldwide worrying environmental pollution<\/strong> the VDI also draws attention to the economic and social problems of raw material waste in the environment: Millions of tonnes of valuable secondary raw materials <\/strong>are withdrawn from the manufacturing economy.<\/p>\n

Only one different use of primary and secondary raw materials<\/strong> in a circular economy can stop this. To achieve this, the technological achievements of a modern plastic waste and circular economy urgently need to be transferred to other countries.<\/p>\n
