The path we are on with plastics is unsustainable. We have ways to chemically recycle plastics that could mean we would not need to use any new oil, instead using waste in landfills as the feedstock. Less impact on human health and cleaning up the environment.
More than 200 lobbyists at UN’s plastic treaty talks will limit progress, campaigners warn
More than 200 lobbyists at UN’s plastic treaty talks will limit progress, campaigners warn
Environmental group say industry figures will be obstructive and aim to reduce overall ambition of meeting
More than 200 industry lobbyists are attending the UN’s meeting to hammer out a global plastics treaty, raising fears that moves to prevent runaway plastic production may be undermined.
The 234 lobbyists from the oil, petrochemical and plastics industries outnumber the combined delegations of all 27 EU member states, and far exceed the number of people attending with the delegation of scientists as well as Indigenous peoples at the Geneva talks. Continue reading...
