Markets
To meet society’s needs we need markets that work in tandem with government policy. Together with the Sustainability Leadership Kosovo (SLK) Champions program, I visited Reks, a new industrial plastics recycling plant, which has joined the competitive ‘race-to-the-top’ to supply European packaging manufacturers with enough recycled plastic to meet their targets under the EU’s Plastics Strategy. We also visited Pristina International Airport to learn about their sustainability management. They are a certified carbon neutral airport, which is only possible because there is a regulated European market for emission credits. Markets are efficient but they need policy incentives to deliver public goods.
