Abstract(s)
O aumento da produção e consumo de plásticos tem levado a significativos desafios ambientais. A gestão sustentável do plástico na economia circular se apresenta como uma abordagem estratégica para mitigar impactes ambientais, promovendo a reutilização e reciclagem desses materiais.
Os oceanos são fundamentais para a vida na Terra, fornecendo uma vasta gama de serviços ecossistêmicos que sustentam a biodiversidade e o bem-estar humano. No entanto, a crescente quantidade de plásticos nos oceanos representa uma ameaça significativa para esses ecossistemas marinhos.
O objetivo específico desta investigação é traçar um quadro da panorama atual da poluição por plásticos nos oceanos incluindo ações como da Ocean Cleaup para mitigar os efeitos danosos desta poluição.
O plástico chega aos oceanos tanto pelos dos países que não fazem ou não qualquer recolha e tratamento do plástico e são bem conhecidas as grandes concentrações deste plástico nos oceanos. Com este trabalho pretende-se compreender como é que o plástico chega aos oceanos, e como é que se recolhe e trata esse plástico. Daí nasce a necessidade do estudo de caso com a instituição escolhida.
A dissertação também trabalhará com a pauta da Economia Circular, seus conceitos e seus benefícios para o meio ambiente.
The increase in plastic production and consumption has led to significant environmental challenges. Sustainable plastic management within the circular economy emerges as a strategic approach to mitigate environmental impacts, promoting the reuse and recycling of these materials. Oceans are crucial for life on Earth, providing a wide range of ecosystem services that sustain biodiversity and human well-being. However, the growing amount of plastic in the oceans poses a significant threat to these marine ecosystems. The specific goal of this research is to address plastic pollution in the oceans and actions like those of Ocean Cleanup to mitigate the harmful effects of this pollution. Plastic reaches the oceans through countries that do not engage in any collection or treatment of this plastic. It is also known where the largest concentrations of plastic in the oceans are found. It is essential to understand how plastic reaches the oceans, and how it is collected and treated. This gives rise to the need for a case study with the selected institution. The dissertation will also explore the concept of Circular Economy, its principles, and its environmental benefits.
