This episode we take a look at how plastic became an integral part of our world in a very short amount of time. Amadeo Ghiotto (FairFin) interviews Joan Marc Simon (Zero waste Europe). Together we look at the mechanisms behind the plastic market that make us buy so much unwanted plastics and how we need to rethink the role of plastic in our society.

In this FairFin plastic podcast we delve deeper into the research we did on the financing of plastic production. Because in order to stop the plastic flood, we need to take a look at the companies that make plastic and the banks that finance them.

Via our website www.fairfin.be Belgian citizens can send complaints to their banks. Help us put pressure on them and send a complaint to your bank.
