#UCEVACiudadEducadora Advancing Global Solutions for Plastic Pollution "Plastic pollution remains a global crisis, with efforts for a binding treaty advancing amid challenges. Delegates gathered at the Plastic Pollution Treaty negotiations in Busan adopted a 'Chair’s Text' as the basis for 2025 negotiations. Learn more about priorities such as science-based monitoring, transitioning to a circular economy, and leveraging digital innovations to tackle this urgent issue." https://lnkd.in/eTwYFxXU

The World Economic Forum, in collaboration with #KPMG, Suzanne Kuiper has released an insightful report on circular industry solutions for a global plastics treaty. 👉 Checkout the 24 cases studies and promising solutions to end plastic pollution ♻ 🌍 Plastic waste has more than doubled since 2000, reaching 353 million tons in 2019, demanding urgent global action. A 2022 UN resolution aims to create a legally binding agreement to end plastic pollution, focusing on a circular plastics economy. Effective solutions require coordinated efforts from governments, businesses, and civil society across the plastics value chain. Bold policies and financial mechanisms, including extended producer responsibility and clear regulatory standards, are essential to scale circular solutions. Highlighted examples show that existing circular solutions can be scaled globally with the right support.

Driving a Sustainable Future: The Global Push for a Circular Plastics Economy In a significant step towards establishing a circular plastics economy, leading organizations like Yunus Environment Hub, GIZ, and IUCN are emphasizing the importance of social inclusion and economic justice. As the global community gears up for the final Intergovernmental Negotiations Committee meeting, it is crucial to ensure that socio-economic barriers are dismantled, making way for effective implementation of a global plastics treaty. By focusing on social inclusion across the entire plastics value chain, we can align efforts towards an equitable future where economies thrive and environmental sustainability prevails. A newly created resource document highlights key considerations and offers a call to action for stakeholders engaged in this critical discourse on plastic pollution. How can businesses and policymakers collaborate to ensure a just and inclusive transition to a circular plastics economy? #CircularEconomy #PlasticPollution #Sustainability #SocialInclusion #GlobalTreaty #EconomicJustice

Patiently waiting for the outcome of the INC-5 in Busan My expectations for INC-5 are high, and I hope to see significant progress on the following key areas: - *Strengthening Global Cooperation*: I expect nations to work together to establish a robust framework for reducing plastic pollution, including agreements on plastic production, waste management, and extended producer responsibility. - *Ambitious Reduction Targets*: The INC-5 should set science-based targets for reducing plastic pollution, including a significant decrease in single-use plastics and an increase in the use of recyclable and biodegradable materials. - *Financial Mechanisms and Support*: The meeting should establish a financial mechanism to support developing countries in their efforts to reduce plastic pollution, including access to funding, technology transfer, and capacity-building programs. - *Inclusive and Equitable Implementation*: The INC-5 should ensure that the instrument is inclusive and equitable, taking into account the needs and concerns of all countries, particularly developing countries and vulnerable communities. The success of INC-5 is critical for addressing the plastic pollution crisis, and achieving a strong, effective, and ambitious instrument that protects our environment, health, and well-being. #BreakFreeFromPlastic #PlasticTreatyNow #EndPlasticPollution #BeatPlasticPollution #PlasticFreeFuture #GlobalPlasticTreaty #PlasticPollutionSolutions #CircularEconomyNow #ReduceReuseRecycle #PlasticWasteReduction #SustainableDevelopmentGoals #SDG12 #SDG14 #SDG6

NFW is highlighted as a circular solution in latest plastics report from the World Economic Forum. WEF published the new report to outline solutions to the plastic crisis that align with the Global Plastics Treaty, which was signed by 175 countries at the United Nations Environment Assembly.  “As member states are negotiating the ins and outs of the forthcoming instrument, key industry players across the plastics value chain are, to varying degrees, preparing themselves for its implications. This report shares key insights and learnings from industry players across the plastics value chain, who have started to develop and implement circular solutions. It gathers case studies from across the globe developed by organizations of various sizes. By analyzing existing solutions, this report aims to build confidence and provide relevant insights to industry stakeholders in their journey towards creating and adopting an effective and impactful global plastics treaty.” The report is downloadable at the link below and NFW is featured on page 22. https://lnkd.in/eXMWd2bH #plasticstreaty #unitednations #sustainability #plastics

Pinovo is super proud 😁 to be one of the case studies in the GPAP/KPMG report on how the Global Plastics Treaty can help scale solutions that tackle Plastic Pollution - see page 28 below👇 This insightful report highlights that policy interventions, and suitable financing mechanisms, are the two most significant factors necessary to facilitate scaling impact solutions from "niche alternatives", to becoming "mainstream" and an industry standard. That is what is happening in the world of surface maintenance, where Clean Technologies, like Pinovo's, are becoming the industry standard. The Global Plastics Treaty negotiations, that are now on "The Road to Busan" for INC-5 at the end this year, can play an important role, according to the report, "...as an instrument that can drive the relevant policies and unlock financing by decreasing the risk for private capital.". Pinovo is keeping great company in the GPAP/KPMG report, as you will see from the very impressive case studies you can read about from page 19 onwards in the report below! Thank you 🙏 GPAP and KPMG for choosing Pinovo as a case study, and, in this way, supporting our mission to Stop Paint Microplastic Emissions to Protect Ocean Health, because, as you know, #PaintIsPlastic! Pinovo is engaged in the UN Global Plastics Treaty process thanks to our membership of, and the excellent work being done by the WWF/Ellen MacArthur Foundation Coalition Business For A Plastics Treaty, which now comprises 220 global businesses. #SDG14 #PaintMicroplastics #SaveOurOcean #GlobalPlasticsTreaty #Biz4PlasticsTreaty UpLink - World Economic Forum Global Plastic Action Partnership Katapult Ocean Ocean Impact Organisation Solar Impulse Foundation REV Ocean Minderoo Foundation OCEANOVATION RespectOcean Sustainable Ocean Alliance Ocean Conservancy EA - Earth Action Business For A Plastics Treaty Carsten Wachholz John Duncan Ambrogio Miserocchi

Today, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation published the #GlobalCommitment24 progress report in collaboration with UN Environment Programme. The report outlines how business and government signatories have progressed towards their 2025 targets for a #circulareconomy for plastics. The report shows:    ✔ The collective ambition of the Global Commitment signatories has driven substantial progress.  ✔ The job is far from done.  ✔ Plastic pollution is still growing and demands bold action.    The road ahead is clear: binding global policy and accelerated business action are both essential to get the job done. Explore the latest annual report below and learn more about the benefits of joining a material recycling coalition. https://lnkd.in/eeH3pYyr
