Reducing Corporate Reliance on Plastics

Published 2020-03

Plastic has long been the bane of the environment, piling up in oceans and landfills.

Verdict

renamedThe same phenomenon is listed again within two editions under a new name (D33).

Continued as ftsg-tech-trends-2021-417

Reused verbatim text: the 2021 Plastic-Eating Enzymes page is this item's enzyme paragraph (Portsmouth plastic-eating enzyme aiding recycling, Carbios enzymes triggering biodegradation, Recycling Technologies 'plaxx'), one step narrower than corporate plastic reduction. Sibling 2020-234 Enzymes to Eat Ocean Trash (published same to 2021-417, pass 2, label only) has no enzyme text: its Pacific Trash Vortex and Ocean Cleanup text is reprinted as 2021 Smart Ocean Filters (2021-418). Merger exception: the 2021 label names the sibling's subject and its text is this item's, so both can continue there. Checker B applied the sibling rule to a label-only sibling match. The pass-2 match of 2020-234 to 2021-417 rather than 2021-418 looks wrong on the text and is left for a later pass (not in pass-7 scope).

A trend is graded on whether the publisher keeps it, never as a hit or a miss (D6, D33).
