Sustentabilidade: Materiais Plásticos, O Great Pacific Garbage Patch E Propostas Sustentáveis No Contexto Da Globalização Contemporânea
Summary
This Brazilian Portuguese legal and policy review analyzes international and domestic sustainability proposals around plastic pollution, including the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and European single-use plastic regulations. The author argues that no effective global plastic elimination program is possible without coordinated non-state institutional frameworks and enforcement mechanisms.
O presente trabalho analisa propostas políticas de sustentabilidade em torno do problema do plástico enquanto poluidor do meio ambiente e causador de problemas fisiológicos aos seres humanos. Utiliza a metodologia exploratória, dedutiva e qualitativa, com exame em legislações e bibliografias nacionais e internacionais de acordo à temática analisada. Primeiramente discorre sobre as legislações brasileiras e o problema midiático dos canudos de plástico. Em seguida, desenvolve sobre a questão do plástico e do Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Posteriormente, analisa o plástico e as proposições internacionais, especialmente as europeias, em torno de sua contínua utilização e produção industrial. Por fim, conclui pela impossibilidade de qualquer programa efetivo para a exclusão do plástico e de quaisquer outros resíduos de amplo consumo sem uma real imposição de parâmetros não estatais de instituições ou movimentos que sejam alheios aos interesses corporativos dessas empresas diretamente ou indiretamente vinculadas à produção do plástico.
