Research on plastic pollution done by WWF and Eunomia will be presented at the UN plastic pollution treaty talks later this month, showing the feasibility of banning certain plastics from circulation.<\/p>\n<p>The report identifies the most damaging plastics currently circulating in the economy and environment and proposes how governments and corporations might eliminate, reduce, and manage them. Such products include plastic cutlery, e-cigarettes, and microplastics in cosmetics, among others. The WWF presents plastic regulation as the obvious answer to the widespread desire to transition to a circular economy by eliminating the use of single-use plastics.<\/p>\n<p>Plastic remains in circulation across multiple industries for its low prices and versatility, but over half of all plastic created is used for short-lived purposes. Despite efforts toward recycling a material that takes hundreds of years to degrade, less than 10% of plastic is actually recycled. The WWF\u2019s call to eliminate certain plastic products from circulation globally falls in line with the EPA\u2019s recent draft for addressing national plastic pollution in the U.S. The WWF strategy also directly addresses the root cause of plastic pollution with the goal of completely eliminating certain plastics from circulation.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.environmentalleader.com\/2023\/05\/wwf-proposes-global-ban-on-high-risk-unnecessary-single-use-plastics\/\">Environmental Leader<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/2-364\/\">WWF Proposes Global Ban on \u2018High-Risk, Unnecessary\u2019 Single-Use Plastics<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","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":[575,694,3758,1219],"class_list":["post-114272","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-plastic","tag-single-use","tag-wwf"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114272","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=114272"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114272\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=114272"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=114272"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=114272"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
