To world leaders:
The global plastics treaty being negotiated in 2023 and 2024 is a great opportunity - please don't throw it away!
With people around the world, we’re calling for the treaty to address fully the impacts of plastic pollution on those living in poverty, by including:
- Reduction: legally binding targets to reduce plastic production and scale up refill solutions
- Recycling: funding for the collection and recycling of everyone’s rubbish
- Respect: support for waste pickers, including a just transition
- Response: mechanisms to ensure businesses and governments take action
Please ensure this plastics treaty helps end the world’s rubbish problem.
