Abstract

In this paper, we refine the global target for the minimum achievable level of global single-use or disposable plastic product waste in 2030. Specifically, we first propose the model, MPMV, that estimates theMaximumVolume of single-use or disposablePlastic product waste that can safely beMitigated without further environmental damage. Then, we design a three-level evaluation system forPlastic wasteMitigationCapacity, PMC, to investigate the minimal achievable level of global waste of single-use or disposable plastic products. Thereafter, we propose a target for the minimum achievable level of global waste of single-use or disposable plastic products in 2030 via perturbing the indicators in the PMC model, i.e., increasing the PMC curve to 0.6 by 2030. Finally, we put forward the SPMV (SuggestedPlasticsMitigationVolume) model via combining MPMV and PMC models, to ensure the equity of task distribution of plastic waste reduction among countries. At last, we evaluate the performance of the proposed models via selecting thirteen countries with different levels of development, i.e., United States, Germany, India, Philippines, Vietnam, Canada, Yemen, Japan, Brazil, Chilie, Cuba, Singapore, and Italy.
