Let’s be honest. If we want to #reduce packaging waste, #stopplasticpollution and protect #humanhealth in Switzerland, it is going to take much more than the current Waste Limitation and Packaging Ordinances currently on the table. Read our position here: umweltallianz.ch/fr/procedure...

Dear world,

After almost 3 years, the “final” round of Global #PlasticsTreaty negotiations in Geneva, Switzerland just wrapped and a weak treaty was stopped (again).

This is what you missed 👇

The #PlasticsTreaty talks have ended without a treaty. To call this process a failure is an understatement. The world doesn't need more plastic. People know it, doctors know it, markets know it. We must now restart — not repeat.

L'incapacité à parvenir à un accord à Genève est un signal d'alarme pour le monde entier. Ce n'est pas le moment de battre en retraite mais d'être persévérants. Il faut un accord contre la pollution plastique, qui protège notre santé, les populations et la planète. #INC52 @fr.greenpeace.ch

The only way to reduce microplastic exposure is to cut plastic production.

Tell world leaders to step up and deliver a strong Global #PlasticsTreaty that cuts plastic production:

“Water from Nestlé’s Contrex and Hépar brands contains microplastic concentrations so extreme that scientists say they shatter environmental baselines.”

A new microplastic study every week should not be the new normal.

French investigators have uncovered microplastic contamination in two of Nestlé’s top mineral water brands, sparking a renewed legal battle and fresh calls for tougher environmental regulation.

Question is: will the next text iteration bring back the key topics of plastic production and dangerous chemicals and the possibility to vote at the COPs? #BreakFreeFromPlastic @de.greenpeace.ch @fr.greenpeace.ch
#PlasticsTreaty talks are stalled over lack of ambition, with the Chair’s draft being described by Greenpeace International as a “gift to the petrochemical industry & a betrayal of humanity."

🚨⏳Govts have hours to stand up & deliver a treaty that cuts production.
Talks stall on world’s first plastic pollution treaty one day before deadline

✊🌍 HIGHLIGHTS: Ahead of the final plenary a coalition of member states, scientists, civil society groups & rights-holders united for a press conference with one message:

#PlasticsTreaty: It's not easy to avoid the #oil #lobby in discussions on the #UN international treaty on #plastics in #Geneva.

That's why @greenpeace.org and @ciel.org are calling on @unep.org and the #INC secretariat to exclude #fossil fuel #lobbyists.
