About this listen
Plastics and chemical producers need to find more effective ways to tackle the problem of plastic waste after UN treaty negotiations ended without agreement at the weekend.
- Consumer demand will drive improvements in plastic waste management
- Chemical companies need to reconnect with brands/consumers
- We will move out of the current ‘trough of despair’ about recycling
- End of globalization may mean national/regional treaties are more effective
- UN Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee concluded in Busan, South Korea, on 1 December, with no definitive agreement
- Around 100 countries backed proposals, with a small number of hold-outs
