"Petrochemicals are expected to account for more than a third of the growth in global oil demand, according to the International Energy Agency, driven largely by the demand for plastic" This affects climate change, pollution & biodiversity loss. #PlasticsTreaty insideclimatenews.org/news/1202202...

What's worse than living next to a cement kiln? Living next to a cement kiln burning plastic! And being rewarded with plastic credits that allow consumer goods companies to greenwash their image with consumers: www.source-material.org/plastic-cred...

The chemical industry, plastics producers, the energy sector and chemical recycling... COI at play here result in investments in infrastructure that locks us into continued plastics production and continued pollution. These are not real solutions. #PlasticsTreaty grist.org/accountabili...

Disinformation also undermines decision making around climate and #PlasticsPollution. The #PlasticsTreaty must be based on robust independent science. Disinformation campaigns lead to false solutions. Disinformation undermines the #HumanRights to science, information and knowledge. #INC5.2
