EPR offers the private sector the level playing field and incentives needed to reduce plastic waste - a win-win approach for an effective UN Treaty to end #PlasticPollution.

The #GlobalPlasticsTreaty requires meaningful recycling targets. My advice: a minimum 55% recycling target for plastic packaging.

What constitutes a meaningful set of targets? Find out here: https://t.co/eYlWIcNYze

Tackling the #plasticpollution crisis requires a comprehensive approach. This article underlines the importance of global access to waste collection and how to create financially viable #wastemanagement systems worldwide.

A new report from @UNEP highlights the importance of #DepositReturn systems and recycling to boost the circularity of plastic packaging.

It’s time to #BeatPlasticPollution

[UN Environment Programme @UNEP]

Addressing plastic pollution requires a new way of thinking that looks at the entire life cycle of plastics, from production to consumption and waste management.

UNEP’s new report highlights the need for a “systems change” to #BeatPlasticPollution: https://t.co/dcfBkZaOfN

3/3 You can find a good summary of the event here: https://t.co/iHRigaWd0E @circulareconomy #INC1

[Chuck Riegle @ChuckRiegle]

1/3 It was an honor to attend the first UN negotiation for a global treaty on plastic pollution. TOMRA attended as signatories to the Business Coalition for a Global #plasticstreaty with EMF +@WWF. This is the first of five meetings that should wrap in 2024 with a global treaty.

[Chuck Riegle @ChuckRiegle]

2/3 My takeaway is that this could be a very bold instrument to address plastic pollution . A lot remains to be agreed upon, but it could a) address the full life-cycle of plastic b) address plastic production, and c) set reduction targets. In addition to leveling up recycling.

ICYMI Ireland announced details of their upcoming Deposit Return System. Cans and plastic bottles less than 500ml will have a 15 euro cent (16¢) deposit, and 25 euro cents (26¢) above 500ml. "It has been 'a hit with kids in the local areas". https://t.co/tN49xBzwGl

📢❗️🇺🇾 #AHORA El Ministro Peña muestra una de las máquinas receptoras de plástico, vidrio y latas, las que pagarán a la persona que deshecha estos elementos. Da un ticket que se canjea por $$. Estarán operativas en Uruguay. Se firmarán los convenios con grandes superficies

(2/2) and there's no reason why policy to adopt a single use DRS can't also add provisions to encourage refillables like grants for reuse infrastructure, refillable quotas or even a tax on single use containers. Both container types would be returned in the same infrastructure.

[Chuck Riegle @ChuckRiegle]

(1/2) This video from the @FT sums up the DRS situation pretty well. I would just add that refillable beverages are declining everywhere in Europe and after the introduction of the single use DRS in Germany that declined actually stabilized. https://t.co/frv4ErKlrf

[Chuck Riegle @ChuckRiegle]

(3/3) I look forward to working with the teams at WWF and EMF on the treaty itself

[Chuck Riegle @ChuckRiegle]

(1/3) Today is an exciting day. EMF + @WWFUS have formed The Business Coalition for a Global Plastics Treaty, bringing together businesses who are committed to developing an ambitious, effective + legally binding UN treaty to end plastic pollution.

[Chuck Riegle @ChuckRiegle]

(2/3) A global treaty is a once in a generation opportunity to tackle the plastic pollution crisis in a globally coordinated way. When the treaty is debated, it's important the business community is there to affirm our commitment to work on solutions, not drag our feet.

[Chuck Riegle @ChuckRiegle]

CA continues its march to apply EPR principles to packaging, this time by super-charging its deposit return system. This law will add wine &liquor, bring more convenience to the system and invest in piloting new innovations. https://t.co/KabBOBx8ic via @rrecycling #bottlebill
