The Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee for Plastics is meeting in Paris on May 29 to resume the development of the first international, legally-binding treaty on plastic pollution.
However, experts say that the timeline for treaty negotiations is short. This week’s meeting should, therefore, result in the drafting of an initial treaty which will then be negotiated at the third meeting. It is reported that the treaty may also aim to limit plastic production and impose restrictions on certain chemicals used in plastic manufacturing. Alternatively, according to the Associated Press, some countries and companies, particularly those involved in oil and gas exportation, are lobbying for a focus on scaling up recycling efforts.Beeler told AP that the talks are “the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a global conversation to change the trajectory of plastic production growth.
Greenpeace’s call came after reports of fossil fuel companies’ efforts to “sabotage” the Global Plastics Treaty. To address the plastic crisis, the first step is to make less of it, the United Nations Environment Programme said in a recent report. “Only an integrated, systemic shift from a linear to a circular economy can keep plastics out of our ecosystems and bodies, and in the economy. Everybody has a role to play,” she added.
