Abstract
Postprandial While waste management, plastics production, and recycling sectors at first glance appear only tangentially some places linked, some places not linked to essential services, they are intimately connected to a thriving economy and critical public health roles [1]. The uncertainties associated with the pandemic have caused significant limitations on recycling and municipal waste services. Meanwhile, the likely decrease in plastic waste generation due to the global decline in economic activity, no collection and transportation or reduced collection rates and programs where inventory may not make it into the waste and recycling system until post-pandemic has been significantly muted by the needs associated with the pandemic [2]. As a result, more recyclables are being disposed of in the traditional waste processes-landfill and incineration [3]. The behavior is additionally supported by precipitous drop in oil prices that makes manufacturing of the recyclable commodities cheaper [4]. This challenges the goals of sustainability but also displays the deficiencies of short-term and product-based solutions to the plastics waste issue while stressing the need for a systems-level approach [5].
