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: ikhapp.org/material/policy-b…
What should a #justtransition entail to ensure that measures taken to end #plasticpollution are fair, equitable and inclusive for all stakeholders across the plastics lifecycle? Read our new #policybrief to find out more: ikhapp.org/material/policy-b…

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
What are bio-based, biodegradable and #bioplastics? In our new #policybrief, we address (dis)advantages, limitations and risks of alternatives to conventional plastics & discuss the role of the #PlasticsTreaty. ikhapp.org/material/policy-b…

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!
1/ The Scientists’ Coalition for an Effective #PlasticsTreaty was pleased to share our oral #INC3 submission in this recent @UNEP webinar leading up to INC-3: youtube.com/watch?v=QivwdPn7…
2/ You can read our #INC3 submissions in full here: Part A focusing on scope and principles - t.ly/5x_5p
3/ Part B of our submission provides inputs on the potential areas of intersessional work to inform #INC3 - t.ly/Ok0v4
🙌With the #ZeroDraft of the #PlasticsTreaty out, it is time to dive into the details of what a future Treaty may look like and how science can contribute to the process to #EndPlasticPollution

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.
3/ Utilising safety, essentiality, sustainability and zero-waste hierarchy principles as guiding tools, and building a living treaty design in line with emerging science and knowledge.

Why and how should plastic #chemicals and #polymers of concern be integrated in the global #PlasticsTreaty? The #policybrief by our working group on chemicals, polymers and products provides you with the most important insights: ikhapp.org/stories-and-resea… @IKHAPP_
Our 3 principles for a safe #circulareconomy for #plastics:
1 Support minimisation, safety, sustainability of plastic production
2 Ensure safety & sustainability of plastic products across lifecycle
3 Design rights-based, safe, sustainable systems
