PlastX – Plastics as a systemic risk for social-ecological supply systems

The junior research group PlastX, led by ISOE, is examining the societal role of plastic and the associated environmental impacts. Within this framework, the team of social and natural scientists is attempting to find out how plastic might be used more sustainably.

Sustainable Society

Resource-intensive consumption patterns cannot be sustained within planetary boundaries. But technological innovations alone are not enough to bring about the necessary changes. Social innovations that could reduce resource consumption are not yet being sufficiently utilized since these innovations require far-reaching changes in everyday practices, infrastructures and institutions.
