NEW WAYS TO HOW EFFECTIVELY SCALE PLASTIC RECYCLING
– How Societal Change for the Collection of Plastic can Create Big-Scale Impacts    

ABSTRACT

[LMGlobal.Org] Today’s mismanaged plastic waste is over 18m tons/year, much of which impacts over two billion people a day with poor water quality, health issues, ecosystem, tourism, ocean impacts, fishing and agriculture, among others.   At the same time, the wide range of communities and countries that are most impacted by the plastic pollution, which they either create due to lack of infrastructure and resources or which their neighbors create, do not have many choices for improved collection and recycling.  Their waste adds a higher per-capita impact to the environment than does plastic in big cities, which often gets collected, but at the same time, societal improvements and program changes which need not cost a lot and bring trust to communities means that positive impacts are higher per-capita than those in larger communities.  Recycling is not broken, but it has not been correctly implemented.   Learn from our expert panel on how communities around the world can be part of reducing plastic pollution at scale, with the ocean and our waters as one of the main end beneficiaries.  

Description

The session will address preventing plastic pollution of water sources and the ocean through recycling for a circular economy, benefiting communities and the environment by reducing pollution and the use of virgin resources. Global plastic production reached 413.8 million metric tons in 2023 and is projected to triple by 2050, with a 30% annual increase reaching the ocean. Global plastic waste is projected to reach 460 million tonnes annually by 2025 due to increased consumption and insufficient recycling. This escalating plastic production and waste negatively impact SDGs 14 and 15, human health, and the environment. The session will focus on reducing plastic waste by turning it into a valuable recycled asset through existing preventable measures that empower local communities. This virtual panel will contribute to SDG 14 Target 1 and support the UN Plastic Treaty, aiming to foster responsible behavior and support global policies for reprocessing and reusing plastics for a circular economy.

Objectives of the Session:

• A summary of the session is to be posted to make the contents of the session publicly available, along with the speeches/presentations as the session’s outcome towards #OceanAwareness and#OceanConsciousness building.
• Video recording of the webinar will be made publicly available online. Its edited, re-formatted version will be scheduled under the Light Millennium Television Series (LMTV) for local channels in New York City (QPTV.Org; MNN.Org) in the following months.
• The outcome of the webinar will be reflected by the Organizer to the United Nations and UN-associated NGOs and the general public.
• Will contribute to public awareness and encourage students’ academia and policymakers to focus on the theme of “NEW WAYS TO EFFECTIVELY SCALE PLASTIC RECYCLING – How Societal Change for the Collection of Plastic can Create Big-Scale Impacts ” in support of the thematic Interactive Dialogues of the Third United Nations Ocean Conference #UNOC3, “Preventing and significantly reducing marine pollution of all kinds, particularly from land-based activities“.
• Will offer relevant project ideas and references for Ocean Day issues, emphasizing the day’s importance in preventing ocean pollution and waste.
• Targeted Attendees: 150+ attendees
• Targeted Audience: Global (experts, academia, representatives from related UN entities, diplomats, government and/or intergovernmental organizations, NGO/Civil Society, Youth/Student representatives, and the general public).

Key Points:

• Based on the thematic Interactive Dialogues of the UN 2025 Ocean Conference, our theme will contribute to “Preventing and significantly reducing marine pollution of all kinds, particularly from land-based activities.”
• A Keynote Address by H.E. Mr. Stan O. Smith, Ambassador, Permanent Representative of the Bahamas to the United Nations.
• A Keynote Address by H.E. Mr. Teburoro Tito, Ambassador, Permanent Representative of Kiribati to the United Nations.

• A panel featuring three to four expert speakers, a youth representative, and a moderator.
• Discussions focused on new approaches to reducing plastic pollution in the ocean and water resources, recycling, and reproducing and transforming it towards economic incentives for the most effective communities. 
• We transform the Q&A Session to a #OneMinute Commitments on how to Be Nice To The Ocean that the speakers’ commitment will encourage the attendees of the side event to do the same, as long as time permits! #LetsBeNicetotheOcean

Key Ocean Facts

The ocean covers 75% of Earth, holds 97% of its water, and 99% of its living space by volume. It absorbs 30% of human-produced CO2 and over 90% of excess climate heat, causing warming, acidification, oxygen loss, and marine heatwaves. Over three billion livelihoods depend on marine biodiversity. Marine resources and industries are valued at $3 trillion annually (5% of global GDP). Marine fisheries employ over 200 million people. Coastal waters face pollution and eutrophication, expected to increase by 20% in large marine ecosystems by 2050 without action. Sustainable maritime transport is vital. Sea transport carries 80% of international goods trade. About 80% of marine pollution originates on land. Millions of plastic bottles are bought every minute, and trillions of plastic bags are used yearly. Approximately 680 million people live in low-lying coastal zones, expected to reach a billion by 2050.

Why the Ocean Matters

The world’s oceans – their temperature, chemistry, currents, and life – drive global systems that make the Earth habitable for humankind. Our rainwater, drinking water, weather, climate, coastlines, much of our food, and even the oxygen in the air we breathe, are all ultimately provided and regulated by the sea. Throughout history, oceans and seas have been vital conduits for trade and transportation.

Careful management of this essential global resource is a key feature of a sustainable future. However, at the current time, there is a continuous deterioration of coastal waters owing to pollution and ocean acidification, which has an adverse effect on the functioning of ecosystems and biodiversity. This is also negatively impacting small-scale fisheries.Marine protected areas need to be effectively managed and well-resourced, and regulations need to be put in place to reduce overfishing, marine pollution, and ocean acidification.

PANELISTS

Mr. ANDREW ALMACK, Founder and CEO of Plastics For Change 

Andrew is the Founder and CEO of Plastics For Change, a social enterprise transforming discarded plastic into high-quality, Fair-Trade Verified recycled materials. His innovative platform connects informal waste collectors with global brands like L’Oréal and The Body Shop, enabling them to replace virgin plastic with ethically sourced alternatives. By improving livelihoods for the ultra-poor and preventing plastic from entering the ocean, Andrew’s initiative exemplifies a new wave of responsible entrepreneurship.

Under Andrew’s leadership, Plastics For Change tripled its revenue from $5 million to $15 million in 2024 and expanded operations across India and into the Philippines. Since introducing the world’s first Fair-Trade Certified recycled plastic in 2019, the organization has recycled over 40,000 tonnes of material. Committed to transparent and ethical practices, Plastics For Change holds multiple third-party certifications—including Social Plus, OBP, GRS, EN 15343, REACH, SEDEX, and B Corp—to validate its social and environmental impact. Leveraging AI and data-driven insights, Andrew’s mission-led approach continuously drives meaningful change in waste management, economic empowerment, and ocean conservation worldwide.

Mr. OLIVER NUDDS, Founder and CEO of Ocean Plastic Technologies
Oliver is working towards a future where all plastic can be fully recycled at community source, and remanufactured as part of a circular economy.  This emerging circular plastic economy for small-scale recycling entrepreneurs leads to a monetised economy for secondary plastic that empowers disadvantaged communities across the African continent and the developing world.  Ocean Plastic Technologies enables communities to benefit from small-scale, localised plastic upcycling by densifying their waste plastic for sale into the existing supply chain where it is repurposed to create new products. Through our existing uptake agreements, we are ensuring that plastic never becomes waste and empowering local communities by giving them the opportunity to earn a living whilst playing their part in the circular economy.
