Scientists' Coalition for Effective PlasticsTreaty

We are a global network of scientists and technical experts working to mobilise scientists and support the negotiations towards a #PlasticsTreaty

[Scientists' Coalition for Effective PlasticsTreaty @ScientistsCoa]

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: https://t.co/dikGRJ710m

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

[Scientists' Coalition for Effective PlasticsTreaty @ScientistsCoa]

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. https://t.co/8cKL56xtoy

In a significant move towards addressing global #plasticpollution, a first draft for the #plasticstreaty has been released this month. Read our summary here: https://t.co/d4WNcjDoCf

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/ 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.

[Scientists' Coalition for Effective PlasticsTreaty @ScientistsCoa]

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.

Join @JambeckResearch and I for a Q&A during the week of the release of the book Plastics.

We will share our favorite book excerpts, talk about how the book was made and answer questions. #Plastic #PlasticPollution #Microplastics

[Scientists' Coalition for Effective PlasticsTreaty @ScientistsCoa]

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: https://t.co/elMhw40j2f @IKHAPP_

[Scientists' Coalition for Effective PlasticsTreaty @ScientistsCoa]

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
