Global experts gather in UK to debate plastic pollution treaty framework
Experts are convening today at the University of Portsmouth, UK, to discuss the success of policies tackling the global plastic pollution crisis. The two-day online workshop reviews research and proposals initiated at the Global Plastics Policy Centre, launched last year during the COP26 climate summit.
Representatives from the World Economic Forum, OECD, EU, and various governments, including Japan and the Maldives, academic experts, industry players and leading NGOs are attending.
The treaty aims to end pollution by addressing the full life-cycle of plastics, from production to disposal. Attendees at the ongoing GPPC event discuss recycling regulations, extended producer responsibility, deposit return schemes, bans on plastic bags, bans of selected single-use plastic products, taxes, and awareness instruments. Isolated solutions will not work, and plastic pollution must be met with a unified global approach.
