　　Ramesh Ramachandran在接受ICIS采訪時表示：“積極分子和工業界都完全同意塑料垃圾所造成的明顯和現實的危險。然而，我認為變革的步伐太慢了，在社會把生產者視為問題所在以及誰來解決問題之前，行業必須加快步伐?！?/span>

　　他補充說：“如果這個行業想在5-10年內產能翻番，而2-3年內沒有一個明確的塑料垃圾解決方案，這對這個行業來說不會有好的結局。”

　　Ramachandran于2017-2020年擔任科威特聚乙烯生產商Equale的首席執行官，2009-2017年擔任阿聯酋乙二醇生產商MEGlobal的首席執行官。目前則是MEGVIN顧問公司的負責人。

　　Industry must act fast on plastics recycling as societal pressure mounts

　　The chemical industry must accelerate investment in plastics recycling to achieve scale, the former CEO of Equate and MEGlobal said on Tuesday.

　　“Both the activists and the industry are in full agreement on the clear and present danger posed by plastic waste. However, I think the pace of change is too slow - industry has to move a lot faster before society looks to the producers as the problem and who have to fix it,” said Ramesh Ramachandran in an interview with ICIS.

　　“If the industry wants to double in capacity in 5-10 years without a clear solution in 2-3 years for plastic waste, this will not end well for industry,” he added.

　　Ramachandran was CEO of Kuwait-based polyethylene (PE) producer EQUATE from 2017-2020 and CEO of UAE-based ethylene glycols (EG) producer MEGlobal from 2009-2017. He is now principal at the consultancy MEGVIN Advisors.
