Pour un traité sur les plastiques ambitieux et qui aborde la totalité du cycle de vie des plastiques

Friends of the Earth International issues a statement calling for a legally binding global plastics treaty that addresses the entire lifecycle of plastics, from production to disposal. The organization argues that the treaty must include production limits, confront the influence of the fossil fuel industry, and end 'waste colonialism' where wealthy nations export plastic waste to the Global South.

• The proposed global plastics treaty must be legally binding and cover the full lifecycle of plastics, including production limits, to effectively address the environmental crisis and the influence of the fossil fuel industry.
• The document highlights 'waste colonialism,' where high-consumption countries such as Canada and the United States export plastic waste to countries in the Global South.
• In the United States, specifically in Louisiana's 'Cancer Alley'—a 137 km stretch with over 200 industrial facilities—communities of color and low-resource populations face increased toxic pollution due to the expansion of petrochemical production by companies like Formosa Plastics.
• The organization advocates for the exclusion of multinational corporations from treaty negotiations to prevent industry lobbying from limiting the scope of the agreement, citing the Canadian Food Guide as a precedent for excluding industry influence.
• In Argentina, waste pickers from the popular economy play a critical role in plastic waste reduction, and the document argues that co-management between the state and these workers is essential for managing waste in the Global South.
