The world in general has a long ways to go to get plastic pollution under control. Plastics wont go anywhere so companies like CLNV who can create clean energy will benefit hugely.
Canada has banned single use plastics. Most retailers no longer give or sell point of sale plastic bags. Major fast food chains have or are in the process of converting to paper straws. Packagers are switching to bio degradable films. Six pack beer rings are being replaced with glue. The remaining plastics are bottles with the smaller plastic beverage bottles as being the most prone to tossing curbside rather than recycling. This can be effectively countered by bringing back beverage container deposits. Some provinces do charge a deposit. A large WTE plant JV is being discussed for Ontario which will take plastics, tires, wooden debris, garbage and such items to produce hydrogen.
