Why recycling isn’t enough to address the plastic problem

technologyreview.com Casey Crownhart 2025-11-10 09:00:00

And looking into the future, emissions from plastics are only set to grow. Another estimate, from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, projects that emissions from plastics could swell from about 2 billion metric tons to 4 billion metric tons by 2060. This chart is what really strikes me and makes the conclusion of the plastic treaty talks such a disappointment. Recycling is a great tool, and new methods could make it possible to recycle more plastics and make it easier

Microplastics Are Everywhere. Here's How to Avoid Them in 8 Common Foods

Microplastics are all around us all the time. While these microscopic bits of plastic were once an issue for ocean pollution, now they're all around us. From kitchen tools to food storage, microplastics have infected our world. This means that each day, you are probably ingesting thousands of tiny plastic particles without even realizing it. Studies estimate the average person consumes between 39,000 and 52,000 microplastic particles annually through food and beverages alone -- and when airborn

Meta’s First ‘Real’ Smart Glasses Have One Huge Problem

When Google Glass came stumbling onto the scene in 2013, people were taken aback. Not only did Google’s smart glasses, with their bordering-on-novel camera, present new and somewhat icky questions about personal privacy, but they also crossed an even more controversial line: they looked really, really dorky. Fast forward more than 10 years into the future, and all of those hangups (at least on the surface) seem to be in the rearview. Take Meta, for example. Sales of Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses

That way, the projection can automatically be synchronised with the moment of exposure of any nearby camera using a flash.

Meta Wants to Make Its First AR Glasses With a Display as Cheap as a Flagship Phone
