FT Rethink

Plastic's new chapter

Of the 8.5 billion tonnes of plastic ever produced, only a fraction has found its way into a circular loop. This waste translates to an annual economic loss of USD 120 billion. Here's how we can turn that around.


As the world changes at lightning speed, the FT Rethink series explores how to navigate transformative shifts shaping the future, from geopolitics and climate to industry, energy and health. The channel alternates between independent reporting from FT journalists and business perspectives from Lombard Odier.
