These are great initiatives. There are indeed many barriers to recycling, such as the dispersal of material all over the place, as I said, or the identification of certain plastics. Single‑use plastics are identified, but not the other types, which makes sorting difficult. There are many barriers. If we were to make packaging standard and implement every possible measure to simplify the process, from the user to the recycling facility, we could certainly improve the situation.
Green design helps to mitigate the many effects of a product's life cycle. I touched on a few ideas, such as increasing the use of products to extend their life cycle. Around 80% of environmental effects are identified at the design stage and are difficult to change afterwards. These green design practices are extremely important.
