FairFin Plastic Podcast #1: Plastic, polluting from A till Z

<p>In the first episode of FairFin Plastic Podcast we discuss the plastic industry and the issues associated with it. Because plastic is much more than just a waste management problem: the whole life cycle of plastic is polluting from A till Z. That’s why Amadeo Ghiotto (FairFin) interviews Delphine Lévi Alvarès (<a href="https://www.breakfreefromplastic.org/"><u>Break Free From Plastic</u></a>). She's a plastic expert and will tell us more about the life cycle of plastic and its risks for the environment, the climate and our health.</p>

<p>In this FairFin plastic podcast we delve deeper into the research we did on the financing of plastic production. Because in order to stop the plastic flood, we need to take a look at the companies that make plastic and the banks that finance them.</p>

<p>Via our website <a href="https://www.fairfin.be/nieuws/stop-de-geldstroom-naar-nieuw-plastic"><u>www.fairfin.be</u></a> Belgian citizens can send complaints to their banks. Help us put pressure on them and <a href="https://www.fairfin.be/nieuws/stop-de-geldstroom-naar-nieuw-plastic"><u>send a complaint to your bank</u></a>.</p>
