Market failures can greatly affect plastic waste in Sweden's economy. Here’s how:
Externalities: Sometimes, businesses do not think about the harm they cause to the environment because of plastic waste. This can lead to making too much plastic. For example, a factory might make money by producing cheap plastic, but it ignores the pollution it creates.
Public Goods: A clean environment is something everyone shares. When there are no rules in place, people may not care as much about reducing their waste.
Fixing these problems can help create a cleaner, more sustainable future and also boost Sweden's economy.
