  • Report (and Executive Summary)

    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

  • Background paper

    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.

    Key Principles for a plastic treaty

    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.

#breakfreefromplastic allies and members are calling
for a global #PlasticsTreaty, see what they’re saying online:

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!⁣

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!

A 75% reduction in production is Needed

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

🥤🥤 ينتهي كل عام ما يصل إلى 12 مليون طن من النفايات البلاستيكية في المحيطات، و 9% فقط من إجمالي البلاستيك الذي تم إنتاجه منذ الخمسينيات يُعاد تدويره.
لكن في الحقيقة، إن معظم المخلّفات البلاستيكية التي يتم جمعها لا يُعاد فعلياً تدويرها على الإطلاق – في حين أن الجزء الضئيل الذي يُعاد تدويره يحتوي على مزيج سام من المواد الكيميائية التي تجعلها غير صالحة للاستخدامات الغذائية وغيرها من الاستخدامات الاستهلاكية.
أزمة التلوث البلاستيكي أصبحت مسألة خارجة عن السيطرة، ونحن بحاجة إلى العمل الآن! ✊🏿 ✊🏽✊🏼
⛔️🥤 طالب/ي قادة الدول في الشرق الأوسط وشمال أفريقيا بدعم معاهدة دولية قوية تكافح التلوّث البلاستيكي!👈🏻 act.gp/Plastic2-1-FB
