At this week’s Plastic Treaty negotiations, don’t get distracted by false solutions. Chemical recycling has failed for decades and creates toxic waste. Plastics are not compatible with a safe and circular economy. stoppoisonplastic.org
Pollution happens at all stages of the plastic lifestyle. From the moment that oil and gas are extracted to make plastic, plastic starts polluting. Plastic pollution must be stopped by eradicating fossil fuels #PlasticPollutes #BreakFreeFromPlastic #INC4
