About The Book
This 2019 Principles of Plastic Thinking e-book has been significantly updated to reflect our greater understanding of the plastic pollution issues, and the anticipated changes in legislation and guidance. The underlying principles of lifecycle thinking, waste minimisation and design for the environment are tried and tested environmental disciplines which have remained relatively unchanged over the years. These disciplines are not specific to the issues of plastic, and can be applied to any resource management issue, so although the title of this book refers to Plastic Thinking – it really means flexible thinking about any environmental concern. It would be possible to apply these environmental principles to different material options or priority issues such as the use of fossil fuels, other non-renewable resources or conflict minerals.
The purpose of this book is not to declare war on plastic, but to help the reader to decide on when plastic is the optimal choice. There are many properties of plastic that mean it will continue to be an essential material in our 21st century lives, we simply need to be more thoughtful in our use and treatment of this precious resource.
I hope that this book will inform and inspire you to improve your plastic thinking, and that you will be able to optimise your use of plastic and reduce waste, costs and the associated negative environmental impacts.
