The Global Plastics Treaty represents a unique and crucial opportunity for a worldwide coordinated initiative to effectively resolve the ongoing plastic pollution crisis at all stages of the life span of plastics. Nevertheless, there exists a risk of its potential dilution and corruption. We must unite together to advocate for an ambitious treaty, ensuring its effectiveness in mitigating the plastic pollution crisis.
As countries continue the negotiations, the pressure from civil society will be instrumental in ensuring that the treaty:
Help us spread the word about the Plastic Treaty!
Plastic is a growing crisis with a devastating impact on the environment and human life. This treaty is an opportunity to get it right.
These priorities ensure that the #PlasticsTreaty meaningfully addresses all aspects of the #PlasticsCrisis.

A new report reveals that a record number of 196 fossil fuel and chemical industry lobbyists have registered to participate at the critical UN negotiations for a Global #PlasticsTreaty in Ottawa, Canada. That’s more participants than the entire European Union, scientists, and Indigenous Peoples! 🤯😬
We can`t let these polluters derail the treaty and continue poisoning communities and our planet for profit! ✊🏾

Recycling has never been a real solution to the plastic pollution. If it ever has, we would be seeing the positive impact already by now.
A strong global #PlasticsTreaty is a treaty with a significant plastic production reduction. 👌

Alright friends, you’re not going to like this, but I have a hard truth for you: plastic recycling is a lie.
As we’ve been discussing at #INC4, some countries believe the #plasticstreaty should focus on downstream measures, thinking only plastic waste needs to be addressed (not production). They advocate that recycling and improved waste management systems are the solution to the plastic crisis, but this isn’t correct.
Here are the facts: only 8% of plastic waste gets recycled. The majority of plastic waste (nearly 70%) ends up in landfills, whether you intended it for recycling or not.
Why? Plastics come in various types and forms, making recycling processes complex and costly - different types can’t be mixed together due to differences in melting points, and contamination from food residues and labels complicates things further. Add to this limited infrastructure, particularly in developing countries, and low economic incentives for recycling because virgin plastic is cheaper to produce, and, well, it doesn’t look good.
Could all of this change? Maybe. We could improve our recycling ability and this is definitely part of the solution, but its effectiveness is limited without addressing the root cause of plastic pollution: overproduction and single-use packaging.
There’s no two ways about it: if we want to stop the #plasticpollution crisis, we need to stop producing the majority of plastic and start creating alternatives.
Honestly, this is not something that can be done at a consumer level (we’ll get into this tomorrow) but there are still things you can do. Check what products are made from, read labels. Contact your local recycling centre and see what they can recycle. Don’t assume that just because it should be recycled, it is. Above all, start making better, conscious choices about the products you buy and do your best to find alternatives.
I know it doesn’t feel like much, but remember, what we’re really doing is changing our collection consciousness about consumption and everyone has the power to help with that.

🌍 Live from the Shaw Center at the fourth session (INC-4) of the #GlobalPlasticsTreaty negotiations! 🌿✨ Sonia Astudillo (rawyoginisonia) and Arpita Bhagat from GAIA Asia Pacific are bringing you all the latest updates right from the frontline.
From the moment the #INC4 kicked off, delegates were bombarded with industry ads promoting plastics. This sparked a fiery debate about their place and ethics during such crucial environmental negotiations. Yuyun Ismuwati of nexus3foundation, called these tactics unethical and contrary to the spirit of international cooperation we need right now.
