Изменение на климата и околна среда
#TheFutureIsYours Очертаване на пътя към по-устойчиво бъдеще
Circular economy is a great way to achieve sustainable goals set by the Eu and the UN. Our consumption system needs to be changed, but the way people consume goods too.Europeans need to be more aware about it. Education is key. Schools curriculums could help having a more responsible consumption. Older people should also have access to this information through ads for instance.The national governments with the help of the EU should be able to set up "taxes" or "rewards" as in Sweden or Denmark to incite/encourage citizens to recycle more.It was in fact so effective that Sweden has to import waste!

Dobbiamo senz'altro riciclare di più ma anche cambiare la produzione (anche con barriere tariffarie extra EU) con imballaggi pensanti alla fonte per la circolarità.
Gli impianti di trattamento hanno vita d'impianto di 20/30 anni. Gli imballaggi devono seguire le capacità tecniche di trattamento non il contrario, lanciando un nuovo multimateriale dicendo ahhh! lo differenzieranno a valle, le singole parti in teoria sono riciclabili.
Dovremmo incentivare imballaggi pensati circolari disncentivando il ricorso alle plastiche ( un materiale eterno! Se non smaltito correttamente) e se composti da più materiali allora devono essere facilmente separabili: dalle etichette, ai tappi, alle barriere al vapore, senza scaricare il costo della separazione a valle della catena.
Yes I totally agree!!
what do you think of my idea?
Reduce Environment Pollution by Immigration Policy
Industry, chemicals, mineral exploitaitons... when waste zero is the target we will be in the right way... meanwhile society is sacrifiyng but the main problem stand sitll.
Good idea: circular economy = greener economy.
For imported goods, EU would need to focus on the major importers to achieve change. Could be legislative requirements and fees, if the used packaging is not recyclable in EU.
For production in EU - we used to have a system, where e.g. glass and plastic bottles among others was possible to return to retailers for a small return fee and these were recycled or after cleaning refilled multiple times. It had one major issue - you could e.g. take bottles from abroad and return them in our country. But we did not have many broken glass or plastic bottles/thrash in streets nor in nature. Imagine similar with other recyclable materials. Some programs still exists, but are not promoted nor supported/financed properly.
However such approach to be successful must be implemented in each EU country to have visible results and help change the habits of both EU citizens and private sector. And it has to be long-term promoted and funded. Can we do it?
D'accord, mais l'Europe doit aussi encourager la réduction des emballages et la réutilisation des récipients.
Pourquoi ne pas définir X modèles de récipients en verre et les laver et les réutiliser. La fabrication et le recyclage de ces récipients sont trop coûteux pour l'environnement.
Je suis favorable à éduquer et à inciter tous les acteurs, pas seulement les consommateurs finaux mais aussi les créateurs des produits, les fabricants, les distributeurs. L eco design devrait être une obligation et ne pas culpabiliser le consommateur sur l impossibilité de recycler 90% des plastiques actuels( jouets, isolant construction, film plastique…) L idée de la récompense pour recycler des consommateurs me paraît culpabilisant et ne prend en compte qu une petite partie des plastiques qui sont d ailleurs les plus facilement recyclables( La bouteille d eau) et laisse de côté tous les autres.
Agreed.
There are several aspects that need to be addressed in order to move to a circular economy, but the main topic of this thread, education, is very important. If everybody understands the necessity of having a circular economy and already starts changing the way they consume wherever they can right now, then it will be much more attractive for companies to adapt.
There has to be a general awareness that the real price of throw-away products and mass-produced foods is paid in the longer run and that continuing down the current path will lead to more problems than having to adjust ones consumer behavior.
So to be specific:
- there should be a permanent information campaign (TV, Youtube, cinema, online adds)
- the EU should do what they can to encourage classes on "Sustainable Life on Earth" in schools, so all levels of income are reached.
- there could be a website explaining the full chain of a wasteful lifestyle and showing what the EU is doing to help change this.
I think that one of the key points about educating a general population on a circular economy also involves making people understand that sometimes the clean way is not the easy way or the most comfortable way. A more circular economy will sometimes (not always of course) mean consumer objects that are not optimized for consumer confort but for end-of-life management. As an example, after having done some research on the topic of smartphones, I believe that we will not manage to make this industry sustainable enough without compromising slightly on things like phone thinness, waterproofing, etc. But if we could get people to realize that at least 90% of them don't need a phone as optimized as they have now then the change would be easier.
I generally agree. More information is required & should be spread more widely.
To have a real plan, communicate properly, help people understand what's actually at stake & support them doing the right thing, helps greatly. But it's just part of the game.
Another part is creating contexts where sustainability is already implemented, like in plus energy housing areas where all energy needed for electricity, heating and mobility is locally produced & renewable. Water is locally treated into high quality drinking water. Electric vehicles are available if inhabitants want it. Possibilities to grow own crops are available, if wanted. Businesses, local services etc.
If we create such environments which are inherently sustainable, it's not very costly. It just needs knowledge, proper planning & smart investment.
Another pilar seems to me taxation. One quite complex, but extremely rewarding possibility would be a sustainability tax for all products from inside and outside the EU.
Der erste Schritt Richtung einer Kreislaufwirtschaft könnte ein gemeinsam europäisches Pfandsystem sein. So bezahlt man beim Kauf von Glas- oder Plastikflaschen eine zusätzliche Gebühr, die bei der Abgabe der Flaschen dem Käufer zurück gegeben wird. Dieses System sollte für die ganze EU gelten und verpflichtend für alle Mitgliedsländer sein. Das Ganze muss nicht auf alle Glas- und Plastikflaschen beschränkt sein, sondern kann sich natürlich auf bestimmte Verpackungen ausweiten und vielleicht bekommen Verpackungen durch Unternehmen mehr Leben und werden nicht nur einmal genutzt.
It could fit into my vision
