That draft was published in English on Monday (4 September); the UNEP was able to work rapidly despite a messy process at recent negotiations in Paris. Versions in five more languages will be published before 2 October.<\/p>\n<p>The draft states that nations should aim for the \u201cprevention, progressive reduction and elimination of plastic pollution throughout the lifecycle of plastic\u201d. Their approaches should be \u201ccomprehensive\u201d and cover all parts of the lifecycle. Ultimately, this will mean a reduction in plastic production. The draft stops short of proposing time-bound, numerical targets but does stipulate that harmful chemicals and the hardest-to-recycle plastics should be phased out more rapidly.<\/p>\n<p>It also floats global bans on the highest-risk plastics. Items may not need to be single-use to be banned; the draft mentions \u2018short-lived\u2019 plastics, too. WWF special envoy Marco Lambertini took to X (formerly Twitter) to call the draft \u201ca turning point in the negotiations\u201d. He said he welcomes the inclusions of potential global bans for high-risk plastics and the requirement for updated product design rules in national plans.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.edie.net\/un-plastics-treaty-draft-unveiled-with-global-bans-on-problematic-plastics-in-sight\/\">Edie<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-391\/\">UN Plastics Treaty draft unveiled, with global bans on problematic plastics in sight<\/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":[575,2273,452,402],"class_list":["post-116648","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-plastics","tag-pollution","tag-un"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116648","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=116648"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116648\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116648"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116648"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116648"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
