The global plastics industry is fragmented, and this has led to a proliferation of different types of plastics and many products that mix chemically distinct plastic polymers together. Evans argues that New Zealand needs to build an onshore recycling industry, but should also consider “which materials are actually acceptable to bring into New Zealand in the first place”. In response to the “New Plastics Economy” report, he says New Zealand may need to stop using certain types of plastics.
