WHY ENERGY SAVING MATTERS MOST IN THE PLASTICS INDUSTRY

 

As sustainability becomes more of a focal point within the world at large, the importance of being environmentally friendly is at the forefront of everyone's mind. For the corporate world, this means that there is a growing pressure on businesses of every sector to reduce their carbon footprint – or risk increasing levels of public scrutiny.

The Plastics industry is perhaps one of most criticised sectors when examined through an environmental lens. Unfortunately, the concern is valid: the Plastics industry is responsible for an estimated 4% of the world's global power usage.

The problem with plastics

Considering all of the power sources that span planet Earth, that's a scary figure. But it's an unsurprising one, too; the use of plastic has dominated the modern world, and only in recent years was the harm of this particular material identified. Still, plastic is deemed essential in an overwhelming majority of the world's production.

Plastic is everywhere. To realise that, you need only take a quick look at the products lining the shelves of any shop, the packaging supplied for any pub or restaurant, the supplies provided in any office, the materials used in any construction project, or even the possessions that you own in your own home.

In recent years, the word 'plastic' has become synonymous with something bad. It's fair to say that the impact of plastic on the environment in terms of landfill, oceans, beaches and wildlife has been devastating. The problematic aspect of plastic pollution is absolutely something that we need to continue to strive to resolve. But is the problem plastic production itself? Or is it rather how humans on a wider scale are disposing of that plastic?

Because in terms of energy efficiency, plastics are not always a bad thing.

The importance of energy efficiency

Why does energy efficiency matter? Because energy production is one of the most prominent problems that we are facing in terms of the climate crisis.

Almost everything, especially in a world making so many technical advances, requires energy in some capacity. We are using more and more of it every year. We're using so much that we are having to generate it at an alarming rate. The ways that we do this are damaging the planet. While environmentally friendly alternatives have been developed, the preferred methods still tend to be the most destructive. They produce harmful emissions at a concerning scale.

Energy efficiency isn't about producing energy in a new way. It's about making the most of what we have, and reducing the amount that we need, so that we no longer need to source more at such a damaging rate.
