PLASTIC WASTE AND THE ECONOMICS OF SUSTAINABILITY

Series 2 of Life Solved features ideas and research that is changing our understanding of human relationships with environments. John Worsey chairs two discussions exploring the world’s plastic pollution problem, and how this might be challenged with enzyme technology that’s developing here at Portsmouth.

He also finds out how developing nations are outstripping the developed world in adopting innovative environmental collaborations in government and hears how everyday infrastructure such as wastewater systems might embrace technology to make our lives cleaner, safer and less destructive to environments.

John Worsey talks to:

Professor John McGeehan on innovation using plastic-eating enzymes

Professor Steve Fletcher on how economic policy around ocean resources can improve sustainability.

Professor John Williams on the challenges and opportunities to revolutionising wastewater infrastructure for sustainable living

Professor Pierre Failler on how to managed natural resources to give value to our economy.
