Global petroleum multinationals are stubbornly blocking the UN pact that would rid the world of the plastic scourge. In Paris was the last failed struggle to find solutions.
“The world is sinking into ever higher mountains of plastic, but so far states have failed to push the stop button. The oil and plastics lobby has really pulled out all the stops here in France to torpedo an ambitious plan. To meet the Paris climate targets and reduce the toxic effects of plastic on health and the environment, flooding must be stopped at its source. If that does not work, the desired agreement fails,” said a disappointed Lisa Panhuber. The Greenpeace expert on circular economy was on site as an observer of the ultimately “dirty” negotiations.
