- Summary:
- Plastic credits (PCs) could be part of the solution to the global waste problem. In this book, the author investigates whether and how plastic credits can act as a bridge on the road to implementing extended producer responsibility (EPR). While PCs can be used in the short term, EPR schemes are long-lasting processes. As both mechanisms follow similar principles, it is possible that PCs can be used in the short term to optimise the handling of plastic waste and the involvement of producers and to lay the foundations for the final goal of EPR implementation. This question is addressed through a literature review and a field study of waste management in Lusaka, Zambia.
- Plastic Credits (PC) koÌnnten ein Teil der LoÌsung des globalen Abfallproblems sein. Die Autorin untersucht ob, und wie Plastic Credits (PC) als BruÌckenkonzept auf dem Weg zur Umsetzung der Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) fungieren koÌnnen. WaÌhrend PC kurzfristig einsetzbar sind, handelt es sich bei EPR-Systemen um langwierige Prozesse. Da beide Mechanismen aÌhnlichen Prinzipien folgen, besteht die MoÌglichkeit, dass PC genutzt werden koÌnnen, um kurzfristige Optimierungen im Umgang mit Kunststoffabfall und der Einbeziehung von Produzenten zu schaffen und Grundlagen fuÌr das finale Ziel der EPR-Umsetzung zu legen. Diese Fragestellung wurde anhand von Literaturrecherche sowie einer Feldstudie des Abfallmanagements in Lusaka, Sambia behandelt.
