Les Amis de la Terre International demandent le traité contraignant sur les plastiques

Friends of the Earth International calls for a legally binding global plastics treaty that moves beyond voluntary measures to implement strict production caps, ban waste exports from the Global North to the Global South, and hold multinational corporations accountable. The organization advocates for a 'zero waste hierarchy' and a just transition that protects human rights and provides grant-based financing for developing nations.

• The organization demands a legally binding treaty with global targets to cap and reduce plastic production and consumption, as global production is projected to triple by 2050. This should include bans, restrictions, and the removal of petrochemical subsidies, with exemptions only for essential health or safety uses.
• Friends of the Earth International calls for an end to 'waste colonialism' by banning all plastic waste exports from the Global North to the Global South, except when the exporting country lacks the necessary infrastructure and environmental regulations for safe management.
• The treaty must hold multinational corporations accountable for their role in plastic pollution across the entire life cycle, from fossil fuel extraction to the production of single-use packaging, and should include direct obligations to regulate their impact.
• The organization rejects 'false solutions' and 'greenwashing' such as plastic credits, offsets, chemical recycling, and waste-to-energy, arguing that these reinforce harmful systems and allow corporations to profit without addressing the root cause.
• A just transition must be based on human rights and the principle of 'common but differentiated responsibilities,' providing grant-based (rather than debt-based) financing from the Global North to help the Global South comply with treaty obligations.
