“…As plastic waste trade is only a minor component in international trade, such a policy is actionable with a globally coordinated effort. Our study shows that international cooperation between developed and developing countries is crucial to help raise the recycling efficiency, which would significantly alleviate the plastic pollution issue, consistent with existing proposals [ 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 ].…”

Managing plastic waste from an international perspective is complex, with many countries in the trade network playing distinct roles at different stages of the life-cycle of plastics. Trade flows are therefore the key to understanding global plastic market and its supply chains. In this paper, we formulate an optimization problem from the perspective of reducing global ocean plastic pollution, and create a novel framework based on a network flow model to identify the optimal international trade flows over the life-cycle of plastics. Our model quantifies global flows of production, consumption, and trade across the life-cycle of plastics from raw inputs and subsequent plastic products to its final stage as waste. Using panel data on plastic consumption, waste, and production, we compare the trade flows in reality and the optimal trade flows determined by our model and find that the two are highly correlated. We highlight the policy implications based on our model: increasing trade capacity and improving recycle rates in developing countries.

“…The "governance cooperation" model appeared as early as the 1990s, aiming to solve the cross-domain and cross-sectoral public governance issues in the post-industrial society. Song [38] pointed out that international cooperation is a better way to realize national interests and Hassan [39] demonstrated the effectiveness of international governance cooperation in the prevention and control of marine debris. International cooperation is affected by national capacity and international relations.…”

“…Globally, states begin to acknowledge the reality that focus on bilateral resolution cannot indeed conclude to terms of settlement. The preservation and conservation of the environment is genuinely a universal dilemma, a predicament that is impossible to be solved in a whimsical or piecemeal fashion, and hence demanding a worldwide response (Hassan, 2017). Shaw (2008) opined:…”

Despite attempts in recent decades to tackle environmental problems, our Mother Earth is currently facing a plethora of concerns. Issues such as pollution, land degradation and global warming still persist, due to the exploitation of earth at an alarming rate. It appears that in dealing with environmental issues, legal frameworks do exist at global and bilateral level, ranging from holding states responsible for their breaches of international obligations, to cooperating internationally among states and to swapping debts of a nation for undertaking environmental friendly projects. Yet the overall health of the earth has not been satisfactory, and instead, is deteriorating. Our actions have been not favored protecting this planet, and we have experienced an increasing recurrence of natural disasters. This paper intends to discuss the traditional concept of how states are held responsible for breaching their international obligations towards the environment, and how international cooperation plays a role in protecting the environment to date.The discussions will further highlight the use of the new formula and approach known as 'debt-for-nature swap' which can be an effective way of sustaining the environment. As environmental problems are piling up around us and the earth is on the brink of a planetary emergency, this paper further intends to identify the ultimate key to solve this global problem.
