We are a global network of scientists and technical experts working to mobilise scientists and support the negotiations towards a #PlasticsTreaty
Joined February 2023
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: https://t.co/dikGRJ710m

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

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!

2/ Intersessional work should define: - measures to scale-down & simplify production of plastics & associated chemicals - criteria for listing problematic & avoidable plastic products, polymer & chemical groups, sectors, uses & functionalities - plastic product design criteria

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.
