Por un Tratado sobre Plásticos ambicioso que contemple todo el ciclo de vida de los plásticos

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 and extraction to waste management, while limiting the influence of the fossil fuel industry in negotiations.

• The document argues that an effective Global Plastics Treaty must cover the full lifecycle of plastics, including extraction, production, consumption, and final disposal, to address the environmental crisis and 'plastic waste colonialism' where rich nations export waste to the Global South.
• Friends of the Earth USA is campaigning to reduce plastics at the source by opposing the expansion of petrochemical production in the United States, specifically targeting the 'cancer corridor' in Louisiana and attempting to cut financing from banks, pension funds, and investors.
• There is significant concern regarding the influence of the fossil fuel and plastics industry in the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC-4) sessions. Friends of the Earth Canada suggests that transnational corporations should be excluded from the table, citing the Canada Food Guide as a precedent for excluding industry influence.
• In the Global South, the document highlights the role of grassroots efforts and informal workers in managing the crisis. In El Salvador, CESTA/AT works to change behaviors and oppose waste incineration, while in Argentina, Tierra Nativa/AT partners with informal waste pickers to promote recycling and secure labor rights.
