After its usage, plastic partly gets “revived” as a PET bottle or even in a T-Shirt. While this process remains the best-case scenario, large amounts of plastic are flushed into the ocean where it may become eaten by aquatic animals, eventually ending up in humans’ stomachs. According to a study from WWF, each person consumes five grams of microplastic each week, which is the exact quantity used to produce one credit card. Solactive partnered with ISS ESG, the responsible investment arm of Institutional Shareholder Services, to develop an index that only includes companies that are engaged in the reducing, reusing, and/or recycling of plastics.
