One solution is stop small FMCG Packaging for microplastic pollution controlling. large pieces of plastic of plastic are already being collected and recycled but small pieces are neglected which ends up into the ecosystem destroying it.

I believe all hands must be on deck to solve this problem. And most importantly, the corporates must play a greater role. There is a need for the business organizations to deploy their internal resources and capabilities to solving this challenge. They need to eco-innovate more and take charge of the waste arising from their product from birth to cradle.

Where I'm from- Jos Plateau State Nigeria, Plastic wastes and pollution is an eyesore. Streets and bridges are practically littered with plastic wastes. Recycling is a pretty new concept here. A massive environmental education from The World Bank to places such as I mentioned will go a long way in educating the entire populace on the dangers of Plastics pollution and prospects of Recycling. Funding for SMEs will also go a long way in tackling the menace. Our NGO has recently been cleaning up streets and under bridges, collecting and converting the wastes into sustainable building and construction materials like Plastic and Sand Interlocking Pavers, Plastic and Sand Brick, Plastic and Concrete Road Pavers etc. A collective effort is what we need to tackle this problem.
