Scientists' Coalition for Effective PlasticsTreaty

In our new #policybrief, we draw on scientific evidence to set out the principles needed in an environmentally sound plastic #wastemanagement and #recycling system. Have a read to learn more: ikhapp.org/material/polic…

What should a #justtransition entail to ensure that measures taken to end #plasticpollution are fair, equitable and inclusive for all stakeholders across the plastics lifecycle? Read our new #policybrief to find out more: ikhapp.org/material/polic…

Delighted to be in Bangkok with ⁦@PlymouthMarine⁩ & ⁦@ScientistsCoa⁩ at ⁦@TheEconomist⁩ Global Plastics Summit. Pleased to hear a unanimous call for science to inform UN Plastic Pollution Treaty! It’s a necessity we will underscore shortly in the plenary panel

What are bio-based, biodegradable and #bioplastics? In our new #policybrief, we address (dis)advantages, limitations and risks of alternatives to conventional plastics & discuss the role of the #PlasticsTreaty. ikhapp.org/material/polic…

In a significant move towards addressing global #plasticpollution, a first draft for the #plasticstreaty has been released this month. Read our summary here: ikhapp.org/news-and-event…

Can’t wait for ⁦@martiwag⁩ et al.‘s PlastChem Report! Data compiled so far indicate that there are more than 16,000 chemicals associated with #plastics, at least a quarter of which is classed as hazardous! Red & black list chemicals should be regulated in a #PlasticsTreaty!

3/ Part B of our submission provides inputs on the potential areas of intersessional work to inform #INC3 - t.ly/Ok0v4

2/ You can read our #INC3 submissions in full here: Part A focusing on scope and principles - t.ly/5x_5p

1/ The Scientists’ Coalition for an Effective #PlasticsTreaty was pleased to share our oral #INC3 submission in this recent @UNEP webinar leading up to INC-3: youtube.com/watch?v=QivwdP…

🙌With the #ZeroDraft of the #PlasticsTreaty out, it is time to dive into the details of what a future Treaty may look like and how science can contribute to the process to #EndPlasticPollution wedocs.unep.org/bitstream/hand…

3/ Utilising safety, essentiality, sustainability and zero-waste hierarchy principles as guiding tools, and building a living treaty design in line with emerging science and knowledge.

1/ We recommend for the #PlasticsTreaty intersessional work to prioritise the development of multi-level criteria as tools to inform substantive control measures to scale-down and simplify plastics production and use.

Want to know more about our take on the principles and scope of the #PlasticsTreaty? Read our submission ahead of #INC3 : ikhapp.org/material/scien…

Join @JambeckResearch and I for a Q&A during the week of the release of the book Plastics. We will share our favorite book excerpts, talk about how the book was made and answer questions. #Plastic #PlasticPollution #Microplastics

Why and how should plastic #chemicals and #polymers of concern be integrated in the global #PlasticsTreaty? The #policybrief by our working group on chemicals, polymers and products provides you with the most important insights: ikhapp.org/stories-and-re… @IKHAPP_

Our 3 principles for a safe #circulareconomy for #plastics: 1 Support minimisation, safety, sustainability of plastic production 2 Ensure safety & sustainability of plastic products across lifecycle 3 Design rights-based, safe, sustainable systems ikhapp.org/stories-and-re…
