The world demands an ambitious global treaty to end the age of plastic
Is net zero enough for the materials production sector?
by Zero Waste Europe When considering the urgency of reducing GHG emissions there is a possibility that, despite the aims of the net zero pathways, the cumulative carbon emissions budget will be exceeded. This is due to the risks associated with deploying unproven technologies in some sectors – namely, plastics, aluminium, iron & steel, cement & concrete. This report by Zero Waste Europe and Eunomia allocated a risk factor associated with each intervention and quantified how this influences the likelihood of overshooting the remaining carbon budget. It also attempted to determine whether the overshoot can be reduced by accelerating the adoption model deployed for technological interventions
Plastic Treaty – transparency requirement for chemicals constituents in plastic is a must
by HEJSupport, SSNC, groundWorkSA Despite the importance of addressing chemical contamination caused by plastic, information about chemicals in plastic is not disclosed. Lack of transparency for the chemical composition of plastics undermines plastic management to reduce pollution. In this publication, HEJSupport, SSNC and groundWorkSA discuss the urgency of chemical information transparency in plastics and ways to address it within and outside the value chain and throughout the plastic lifecycle. We argue that disclosing chemical constituents in plastic contributes to plastic pollution reduction, resource efficiency via toxic-free circular economy and promotes the public right to know.
by IPEN IPEN believes that an understanding of the following three principles will be foundational for a Plastics Treaty that addresses the human health and climate threats from plastics throughout their lifecycle, and for promoting alternatives that truly meet the needs of a circular economy.
🌍️ World Cleanup Day is this week, and communities worldwide will gather to clean up trash, and a lot of plastic! 🏖️ While cleanups are great for instilling values and coming together, communities shouldn`t have to clean up the plastic industry`s pollution. ✅️ Try adding a breakfreefromplastic Brand Audit to your cleanup to help make it more effective. 🥤 Plastic was never designed to be recycled, and globally, less than 9% of it has ever been recycled. There is no effective waste management when it comes to plastic. It is most likely landfilled, burned, shipped to the Global South, or ends up in the environment where it threatens wildlife and pollutes our planet. 🐦⬛ 🚮 Individuals and communities can`t solve plastic pollution alone. Industry must stop making plastic in the first place. 🌊 When it comes to your cleanup day, if you`re able, you can add a BreakFreeFromPlastic #BrandAudit and help call out the companies whose plastic products are polluting your community. 🗣️ 🐢 Access Brand Audit resources via our LINK IN BIO. #PlasticPollutes #BreakFreeFromPlastic #PlasticPollution #CleanUp #CleanupDay #WorldCleanupDay #BeachCleanup #PlasticFree

Their final reactions will SHOCK YOU… Dove is spending millions on #RealBeauty campaigns to convince the world their business is a force for good. But here’s the ugly truth they don’t want you to see: ⚠️Every minute, Dove floods low-income communities with 12,000 highly polluting plastic sachets. These SUPER-POLLUTING packets are choking our oceans, killing wildlife, and fueling an environmental disaster of unprecedented scale. The very communities Dove claims to support are drowning in a sea of single-use plastics, their neighbourhoods transformed into unofficial dumping grounds for corporate waste. ⚠️ Enough is enough!! Please WATCH and SHARE this video to help us end Dove’s toxic plastic pollution - every view makes it harder for Dove to ignore! #DitchDove #DoveRealHarm #RealBeauty #PlasticsTreaty #BreakFreeFromPlastic #climate

On September 11, Uproot Plastics held a press conference in Gwanghwamun, the heart of Seoul, to urge the Korean government to take a strong stance in the upcoming 5th session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC-5) to develop an international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution, including in the marine environment.
Uproot Plastics is a coalition organised by civil society groups based in Korea to ‘root out’ plastic problems. It is a collaborative effort based in South Korea, involving 16 domestic and international environmental organisations, including KFEM/Friends of the Earth South Korea.
The coalition is working together by attending INC sessions, hosting forums, running public campaigns, and holding press conferences in support of an ambitious global plastics treaty.

Every stage of plastics life cycle is a health threat to humans. Communities are exposed to pollutants during oil extraction. Workers inhale toxic gasses during manufacturing. Consumers ingest and absorb plastics toxins!

It’s simple to make a huge difference in the reduction of single use plastic from supermarkets. Our patented systems can dispense the thickest of products anything from cooking oils to ketchup etc. The manufacturers of these products could generate more income also by reducing the trucking to supermarkets in the traditional plastic packaging. We continue our uphill battle! We have requested MiamiDade County assist us in getting a meeting with publix. #reuse #refillnotlandfill #plasticstreaty #plasticfree #landfill #healthylifestyle
