The innovation provides a solution to two significant environmental issues: rapidly rising plastic waste and increasing CO 2 emissions in the aviation sector. CO 2 Emissions and Plastic Pollution: Two Significant Environmental Threats Global plastic pollution has become a crisis and is one of the world’s most pressing environmental issues. Although many countries in the developed world have ramped up their recycling efforts in recent years, plastic's annual production continues to increase, and many developing countries struggle to implement recycling strategies.
