Jacob Duer, President and CEO of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste shares insights from the latest round of intergovernmental negotiations on the International Legally Binding Instrument on Plastic Pollution. For more information, you can read his full recap below. #INC4 #ILBI #CircularityInAction #SolutionsForChange #EndPlasticWaste #PlasticWasteManagement

As the final round of talks for a global plastics treaty kick off this week, it is vital that governments take a coordinated global effort to tackle the #plastic waste crisis. 🌍  A range of solutions, including plastic reduction and reuse, coupled with investments and financial support to boost plastics #recycling, are needed to reduce #plasticpollution globally. 

It was important for Biotic to join the Business For A Plastics Treaty, convened by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and WWF, as part of our commitment to transforming the plastics industry and building a future free of plastic pollution. The Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee on Plastic Pollution will be holding their fifth meeting soon to finalize the text of an international, legally binding policy instrument to end plastic pollution (sadly we can't make it). Nevertheless, we support a comprehensive plan to: - Promote innovative materials - Instill accountability measures - Reduce virgin fossil plastic production - Support a just transition for livelihoods and communities across the plastics supply chain - Remediate existing plastic pollution Read our most recent blog post to learn more. #GlobalPlasticsTreaty #EndPlasticPollution #Biz4PlasticsTreaty

Removal of plastic waste and pollution must start with dramatic reductions in global plastics production. Placing removal cost burden on producers and imposing environmental levies on convenience plastics more effective in generating positive action and circularity than more complicated, exploitable 'credit' systems? https://lnkd.in/ejWsKUzG?

On Monday, global leaders gather in Busan for crucial negotiations aimed at finalising the Global Plastics Treaty—a groundbreaking effort to curb plastic pollution and reshape the future of plastic production. #PlasticPollution #GlobalPlasticsTreaty #Sustainability #EnvironmentalImpact #WasteManagement #CircularEconomy #PlasticRecycling #EcoFriendlyPackaging #PlasticWaste #ClimateAction #SustainableFuture #PlasticReduction

♻️ Embracing Plastic Free July: GREENIPATH's Commitment to a Sustainable Future 🌱 Plastic Free July is more than a campaign — it's a movement that demands our attention to the escalating crisis of plastic pollution. At @GREENIPATH, we are dedicated to this cause, not just for a month, but as a cornerstone of our mission. Our groundbreaking project in Hubei Province, China, epitomises this commitment. Focused on the #recycling and #reuse of agricultural plastic waste, including pesticide packaging and discarded agricultural films, we are set to process and #recycle 30,000 tonnes of waste each year. Our project underscores the principle that responsible development must prioritise the #environment. By addressing #plasticpollution head-on, we are paving the way for a #sustainablefuture, one where economic growth and ecological integrity go hand in hand. We invite investors who share our vision of a #sustainable, thriving planet to join us.Together, we can create a cleaner, healthier world for generations to come. 📲 Reach out to us today to learn more about how you can make a meaningful #impact. #GREENIPATH #GreenPathForward #PlasticFreeJuly #PlasticPollution #ZeroWaste #ReduceReuseRecycle #CircularEconomy #EcoFriendly #EnvironmentalAwareness #CarbonCredits #InvestInTheFuture #environmentalconservation #EnvironmentalProtection #ClimateChampions #ClimateFinance #EmissionsTrading #CarbonMarket #CarbonTrading #CarbonCredits #CarbonOffset #CarbonFootprint #ProtectOurPlanet #ProtectWildlife #PreserveNature #SaveOurTreasures #sustainabilitymatters #SustainableLiving #SustainabilityLeadership #actnow #ClimateChange #ClimateAction #greenearth #greenerworld #netzero

More than 20 chief executives from some of the world’s largest companies have called on governments to agree to ‘global binding rules’ to address the issue of plastic pollution. What does this mean for the market as a whole? If the treaty is signed into action, this will create a global policy for plastic consumption, creation, and usage for the entire world. Now, we'll finally be in agreement for how to start tackling the problem that is climate change and plastic pollution. #Plastics #Sustainability #ClimateChange

“Rivers are a delicate ecosystem that we depend on. By targeting plastic pollution in rivers, we can intercept it before it profoundly affects our ecosystems, communities, or the ocean.” - Ben Maurer, principal investigator of the WaterPACT project To celebrate #EarthDay, discover how the NREL-led Waterborne Plastics Assessment and Collection Technologies (WaterPACT) project is working to quantify and reduce #plastic waste in U.S. rivers.

We all agree the plastic crisis is threatening both the planet and human health. Rather than plastic bans or production limits, we believe chemical recycling is a viable solution especially if when we can bring our Resynergi pyrolysis technology straight to the waste for faster, scalable chemical recycling and generate clean products with up to 68% CO2e reduction. Exciting road ahead! #resynergi #circularity #circulareconomy #plasticcircularity #environmentalimpact #sustainability #environmentalsolution #recycling #recyclinginnovation #renewableenergy #advancedrecycling #cleanenergy
