@BaselAction @S_Gundogdu01 @pstoett @KristaShennum @JPetrlik @ismawati64 @Magdalenadonoso @brkfreeplastic @IUCN_Plastics @ToxicsFree Jim Puckett of @BaselAction emphasizes that the logic of waste trade works with current rules to externalize costs because our current system fails to account for some of the most serious costs of doing business – costs to #environment and #humanhealth.
