The study assessed what would likely happen in terms of plastic production and recycling volumes through to 2040 without further interventions from policymakers. It then explored the potential impact of 15 different policy interventions floated in negotiations on the UN\u2019s new global treaty on plastics, including virgin plastic taxes and bans on the most problematic items.<\/p>\n<p>The study assesses how 15 policy interventions could be included in the treaty, compelling nations to scale back virgin plastics production and invest in recycling indrastructure to properly achieve the headline ambition. In the scenario assessed in the study, whereby all interventions are made, global virgin plastic production is 30% lower in 2040 than in 2019. It is also 60% lower than it would have been in 2040 with no interventions.<\/p>\n<p>The report emphasises the need for just transition principles to be embedded in national planning. Developed nations may see their plastics production workforces and waste management workforces shrink while developing and emerging nations will likely see them expand. This will present an opportunity to enhance labour rights and human rights by offering people better quality jobs than the informal waste picking work they currently carry out.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.edie.net\/report-plastic-pollution-levels-on-course-to-double-by-2040-without-urgent-action\/\">Edie<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-400\/\">Report: Plastic pollution levels on course to double by 2040 without urgent action<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,759,6964],"class_list":["post-116942","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-plastic-pollution","tag-policies"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116942","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116942"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116942\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116942"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116942"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116942"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
