RT by @EU_ENV: #Plastic pollution must be tackled at its source: ⬆️production = ⬆️pollution.

The new @UN #plastics treaty must see:
♻️limited production of primary polymers
♻️safe, circular product design
♻️mandatory recycled content
♻️no single-use plastic products.

Let's turn off the tap.

RT by @EU_ENV: The annual production of #plastics worldwide has doubled over the past 25 years. But only 9% of #plastic waste is recycled.❗️We should therefore strive for an impactful @UN treaty on plastics by the end of this year ⏳.

Glad to discuss call to action with @UNEP @andersen_inger.

RT by @EU_ENV: We need decisive global action to help the plastics industry shift towards a circular, sustainable business model. #TeamEurope has a good story to tell. E.g. 🇪🇺 action on single-use plastic products is good for the environment + creates new market opportunities.
