Is recycling always good? When it comes to products containing persistent organic pollutants, the answer is no. Parties to the #BaselConvention are considering what level of POPs content should determine when waste becomes "hazardous waste."

[Earth Negotiations Bulletin @IISD_ENB]

Every day, more hazardous content is found in waste. Recycling operations are changing as new ways are found to recover valuable content. This raises new questions for the #BaselConvention #OEWG14 about monitoring and regulating waste trade.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Plastics know no border.

Every living being & every part of the planet are harmed by plastics & their production.

To #BeatPlasticPollution, we need a strong #PlasticsTreaty that upholds human rights & addresses the full life cycle of plastics.
