'Achieving the goal of ending plastic pollution requires an ambitious and effective, international legally binding instrument that...addresses the full life cycle of plastics including primary plastic polymers'

📢Can't end pollution without tackling production my dudes

Fantastic insights from Daniela Durán G during the GENeva Environment Network highlighting that #plastic pollution is driven by the supply side, not the demand side as is often claimed. And while we negotiate a #PlasticsTreaty ,❗️1000❗️new #plastic plants are being built in the next five years 😵‍💫

“Some sticking points for #PlasticsTreaty negotiations #INC4 include:

1️⃣Regulating the chemicals in plastic production
2️⃣Plastic production caps
3️⃣The role of chemical recycling and bioplastics”

As Canada preps to host the 4th UN #PlasticsTreaty talks in Ottawa, a new poll shows people want global govs to stop plastic pollution at the source by cutting plastic production.

Will PM Justin Trudeau & Min. Steven Guilbeault help champion these necessary measures?

Having worked here, I have seen first hand the number of people who have benefitted by the Oban Recompression chamber. This is a vital facility!

🎯 Significantly more ambitious global & national primary plastic polymer reduction targets are needed at the supply level.

👉 We have to look upstream and define binding national phase-down schedules and global aggregate targets to reduce primary plastic polymer production.
