By 2050 there could be more plastic than fish in the oceans.
Yet the problems start long before the plastic reaches our oceans, rivers and beaches, and so must the solutions.
We must tackle this flood at the source, we must eliminate the plastic we don’t need, we must innovate, so all the plastic we do need is designed to be safely reused, recycled, or composted.
And we must circulate everything we use, making sure the plastic we produce stays in the economy and never becomes waste or pollution.
- Sir David Attenborough

Mission to End Plastic Waste
The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) has set the ambitious mission to see the end of plastic waste by reinventing the way plastic is made, processed and recycled.
The statement was included in an outline of a program of 12 missions aimed at solving some of the country’s challenges so it can emerge with resilience from COVID-19.
Badged Team Australia, the plan will comprise large scale, major scientific, and collaborative research initiatives.
CSIRO will commit at least AU$100 million annually and has asked for partners to join the initiative.
“Science and technology are our greatest tools when it comes to maximising opportunities and addressing the challenges that face Australia at this time of great upheaval" - Karen Andrews, Minister for Industry, Science and Technology
The goals:
• Increase our resilience & preparedness against pandemics
• Mitigate the impact of disasters: drought, bushfires and floods
• Create a hydrogen industry to generate a new clean energy export industry
• Accelerate the transition to agile manufacturing for higher revenue and sovereign supply
• Overcome our growing resistance to antibiotics, so they keep saving lives
• Create a national climate platform to navigate climate change uncertainty
• Help our farmers overcome drought, mitigate climate impacts, increase yield and profitability, create a sustainable Future Protein Industry and leverage the world’s love of Australian-grown food to collectively drive our trusted agriculture and food exports to $100 billion
• Use technology to navigate Australia’s transition to net zero emissions, without derailing our economy
• Safeguard the health of our waterways by monitoring the quality of our water resources from space
• Create new industries that transform raw mineral commodities into unique higher-value products like critical energy metals that build Australia’s value dded offering, jobs, and sovereign supply
• The end of plastic waste by reinventing the way plastic is made, processed and recycled.
• Double the number of small and medium businesses (SMEs) benefiting from Australian science to become a collaboration nation.

Malcolm Purcell McLean, visionary businessman and entrepreneur revolutionised transport and international trade when he developed the modern intermodal shipping container.
McLean established the Pan-Atlantic Steamship Company in 1955 and with engineer Keith Tantlinger, designed the prototypes of our current shipping containers.
Strong, standardised, stackable, easy to load and unload, lockable and consequently theft proof steel boxes that in 2020 are becoming the cornerstone of Australia's emerging Circular Economy.
