Plastics treaty fate exposes weakness of global resolve | Policy Circle Stalled plastics treaty talks highlight failures in waste management and rising risks to climate, health, and biodiversity. #plastics #climate

India has opposed global #plasticproduction limits, pushing instead for equity and #circulareconomy principles, write Aakansha Choudhary and George Cheriyan.

Global Plastics Treaty Reflections: No Treaty Is Better Than a Weak One Although an agreement was not reached during the Global Plastics Treaty, what remains certain is that the fight to reduce plastic pollution continues.

The current solutions proposed by CSOs are commendable, but they are not enough to solve the problem of #plasticpollution. You can’t fix the broken tap of #plasticproduction by simply mopping up the puddle of inadequate solutions on the floor.

Over 3.3B people worldwide are directly affected by #plasticpollution, while 16M living within 5 km of #plasticproduction sites face toxic exposure. Youth and women, especially in #Africa, bear the brunt, suffering 80% of impacts despite producing only 5% of global plastic.

#Recycling is #unsustainable

Both mechanical and chemical recycling rely on blending #recyclate with higher quantities of #fossilfuel-derived virgin feedstock, further perpetuating #plasticproduction.

Plastic production increases as recycling rates remain unchanged Plastic production is expected to double by 2050, but recycling rates remain unchanged leading environmental campaigners to call recycling a ‘myth'

♻️ Plastic production could consume 20% of global oil by 2050, contributing to a surge in plastic pollution. A circular economy can reverse this trend. We need more reuse, refill, and recycling initiatives! #PlasticPollution #CircularEconomy #ClimateCrisis #PlasticProduction

Fossil-fuel-abundant countries such as Saudi Arabia opposed provisions that impact plastic production and chemicals of concern, while more than 100 countries pushed for a cap on production.

Plastic pollution: Why doing nothing will cost us far more than taking action Plastic pollution in the world’s ecosystems could cost more than $280 trillion in environmental damage. That’s at least $120 trillion higher than the cost of reducing plastic production and pollution.

Even if we could wait 50 years for chemical recycling to get to scale and provided it would work... it would still not solve the #plasticpollution crisis as #recycling is increasing slower than #plasticproduction or #plastic #wastegeneration.
The #plasticstreaty has to cap plastic production!

The Bigger Threat: Plastic Pollution or Production Researchers simulated the effects of plastic pollution leaching organic carbon into the ocean and found it would only increase atmospheric CO2 levels by 1 part per million over 100 years, a negligible...

Study finds plastic pollution alone won't significantly impact climate, but plastic production is a growing source of emissions. As other sectors cut fossil fuels, plastic's share of emissions rises. #plasticpollution #plasticproduction #trasheconomy
