Alternative organising beyond resource efficiency “Plastics in a circular society” (funded by Formas, 2021–2026) explores initiatives that directly confront unsustainable plastic practices, transforming the ways we produce, use, discard and govern plastics, as well as relate to this material altogether. We study multiple solutions that these initiatives bring in to address the plastic crisis, how

This map shows the alternative initiatives which have been identified in the first step of "Plastics in a circular society" project. You can filter the list according to the lifecycle of plastics (production, (re)use, (post)discard, governance).
