文章分析了非洲塑料价值链的现状,以及非洲企业家采用的数字创新为循环塑料经济做出贡献的潜力。我们概述了对非洲国家的塑料废物贸易,并评估了可支持向循环塑料经济过渡的现有数字解决方案。调查结果显示,企业家正在应用各种数字创新,包括基于网络的解决方案、移动应用和3D打印。案例研究还表明,跨国公司,特别是面向消费者的品牌,是非洲国家塑料价值链的主要参与者,既是初创企业的种子资助者,也是回收塑料的买家。目前正在进行的举措是积极的迹象,表明正在进行变革,以解决非洲塑料价值链对环境和社会的影响。然而,为了实现向可持续循环价值链的过渡,将需要在政策层面进行改革,以扩大当地初创企业的规模,解决数字解决方案的监管障碍,为回收塑料材料创造市场,并实施延伸的生产者责任法规。
The paper analyzes the current state of plastic value chains in Africa and the potential of digital innovations adopted by African entrepreneurs to contributing to a circular plastic economy. We provide an overview of plastic waste trade to African countries and an assessment of existing digital solutions that can support the transition to a circular plastic economy. The findings show that various digital innovations are being applied by entrepreneurs including web-based solutions, mobile apps and 3D printing. The case studies also show that multinational companies, especially consumer facing brands, are major players in the national plastic value chains in African countries, acting as seed funders for start-ups as well as buyers of recycled plastics. Current initiatives that are underway are positive signs that changes are in progress to address the environmental and social impacts of plastics value chains in Africa. However, to achieve a transition to sustainable circular value chains, changes at policy level will be required to enable scaling-up of local start-up businesses, address regulatory barriers to digital solutions, create markets for recycled plastic materials and implement extended producer responsibility regulations.
