'The fish fled': Egyptian fisherman earning more from collecting plastic than fish At 6am, Mohammed Ahmed Sayed Mohammed steers his boat from al-Qarsaya island through Cairo’s Nile waters towards the capital’s riverside clubs. Fifteen years ago, he searched for fish. Now he hunts plastic bottles. “The fish fled from the plastic chokehold,” said Sayed, who has lived on the Giza island since arriving from Assiut, further south on the Nile, as a 14-year-old fishing apprentice. He never returned to his village, marrying locally and raising three children who now live alongside him with their 12 grandchildren on the island housing 200 families. Declining fish populations, caused by plastic pollution in the river, have forced approximately 180 fishers on al-Qarsaya to pivot from traditional fishing to waste collection. VeryNile, launched in 2018 by the Egyptian social enterprise Bassita, has aims to clean up the river by paying fishers above-market rates for collected plastic waste. The initiative buys plastic at prices significantly higher than a standard recycling plant would pay, providing an economic alternative as fish populations decline due to pollution. Winter fishing once yielded Sayed 25kg of fish daily. Today, he catches 4-5kg, which he can sell at 70 Egyptian pounds (£1.10) a kilogram. Plastic collection generates higher income: plastic sells for 33...

Opinion | Plastic produce packaging is greener than alternatives Californians care about reducing plastic waste. Growers, packers and food companies do too. That’s why many in the fresh produce industry and even their packaging suppliers supported California’s landmark packaging law — The Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act (Senate Bill 54) — when it was introduced and signed in 2022. The original goal of the law was simple: reduce waste and improve recycling without compromising food safety and affordability. However, the latest version of the regulation, released in January by the state’s CalRecycle agency, puts those goals at risk by ignoring how food moves from farm to families. The revisions call for, essentially, a sweeping ban on plastics via the food supply chain by 2027. As a packaging industry executive, I would like nothing more than to discover the magic bullet that gives us a realistic way to eliminate plastic in the food supply chain. I’ve been trying to do that for almost 25 years. But the facts of the current supply chain can’t be wished away. And neglecting this reality will risk the health of Californians, while increasing food prices, limiting food selection and putting small businesses and family farmers out of operation. Here’s why CalRecycle’s...
