It is now entering the final stretch of talks before the treaty becomes legally binding &#8211; two years after the decision was first made to address the problem. But there are still several sticking points when it comes to the best way to tackle plastic pollution and this is hampering progress on an agreement. One of the most contentious is whether there should be a limit on how much plastic companies can produce.<\/p>\n<p>The need for production to be curbed is a position backed by research too. A study published in the journal Science just before the talks in Busan began found that production must be cut to tackle the global plastic pollution problem. It says the amount of mismanaged waste &#8211; that which isn\u2019t burned, recycled or ends up in landfill and instead leaches out into the environment &#8211; will double to 121 million tonnes by 2050 without limits placed on production.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers suggested four key measures needed to address the problem: requiring new products to be made from at least 40 per cent recycled, investing $50 billion (\u20ac47.4 billion) in expanding infrastructure for waste management, implementing a levy on plastic packaging and capping new production at 2020 levels.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2024\/11\/28\/as-countries-meet-to-agree-a-landmark-plastics-treaty-is-recycling-or-producing-less-the-a\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/3-633\/\">As countries meet to agree a landmark plastics treaty, is recycling or producing less the answer?<\/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":[575,17123,483],"class_list":["post-135730","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-plastics-treaty","tag-production"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135730","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=135730"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135730\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135730"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135730"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135730"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
