Some weeks feel like years, don’t they? Ever get the sense the world is spinning faster than your brain can process?

Tomorrow EU governments decide their demands for the #2040target. We need at least a 90% net emissions cut, not hesitation or accounting tricks ❌
If the EU wants to see global #ClimateAction it must lead the way, or risks losing credibility at #COP30

#Plastic recyclers are under pressure
Europe produces far more plastic waste than our system can handle, and #recycling alone cannot fix it
Hazardous substances hinder recycling while harming people and planet
The way out of this is making less, safer and longer-lasting plastics
