EU Plastics
Legal Situation
A visual review of European plastic laws
About
Every year, plastic waste shows an increasing trend. Although people have subconsciously reduced the use of plastic products, this is far from enough. Whether the laws and policies of various countries can follow the pace of environmental protection has become a key issue.
Data & Analysis
I sorted out and counted the data from the UN environment report to form my preliminary data source. It can be found that the vast majority of legislation targets plastic bags rather than single-use plastics, which are the main source of pollution.
Audience & Moodboard
Conducting research on my target audience to understand their thinking and possible blind spots about the relevant laws, which helps to design the final visualization
Sketch & Develop
After various attempts, I settled on using the “lotus” shape as my final solution. The lotus, a plant known for purifying water, aligns well with the goal of reducing plastic pollution.
