Preface<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Plastic is an icon of prosperity and an example of how a linear model of consumption undermines Earth\u2019s planetary limits. The goal of this study is to accelerate the transition to a zero-waste circular plastic economy in Norway by providing both a sensible roadmap and a new scenario analysis digital tool that is science-based, practical and accessible. Our hope and belief are that this work will strengthen the collaboration between industry and the public sector in the search for a better plastic system for Norway based on a shared and accepted fact base.<\/p>\n

In July 2020, SYSTEMIQ and The Pew Charitable Trusts, together with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, the University of Leeds, the University of Oxford, Common Seas, and a panel of 17 global experts, published a first-of-its-kind analysis of the global plastics system, with results suggesting the existence of a comprehensive, integrated, and economically attractive pathway to greatly reduce the plastic pollution entering our ocean.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\u201cBreaking the Plastic Wave<\/a>\u201d was a 24-month project driven by a conviction that a new evidence base was required to plot a science-based pathway out of the plastics crisis.<\/p>\n

Through \u201cAchieving Circularity\u201d we are now broadening and deepening the impact of this work by adapting and applying the model and scenario tool to Norway.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”19″ image_size=”medium” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” img_link_target=”_blank” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” img_link=”https:\/\/www.systemiq.earth\/breakingtheplasticwave”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]With the help of a panel of six Norwegian experts with relevant backgrounds and perspectives, and in partnership with the Norwegian consultancy Mepex, we translated what is perhaps the most comprehensive plastic system modelling tool to the Norwegian context. This has enabled us to create an analysis that evaluates various strategies and system interventions in the plastic system and quantifies the associated economic, environmental, and social implications of each pathway. Our objective is to help guide policymakers, industry executives, investors, and civil society representatives through the highly complex, sometimes controversial, and often data-poor plastic landscape as they advance in their quest to achieve a zero-waste circular plastic economy. At the heart of our work is the core belief that any system-level challenge can only be addressed through a smart combination of policy, technology, funding, and consumer engagement. At first, these may seem slow, but once in place, they can unfold significant momentum beyond what had previously been thought possible. The plastics challenge in Norway may be no different.<\/p>\n

The zero-waste circular plastic economy vision is one which designs out waste and pollution, eliminates unnecessary production and consumption, keeps products and materials in the economy, and safely collects and disposes waste that cannot be economically processed, permanently stopping plastic pollution, increasing material circularity, and reducing
\nGHG emissions.<\/p>\n

Providing the evidence and insight needed to realise this vision is our project\u2019s \u201cNorth Star\u201d.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”60″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][vc_column_text]\n
