IPEN: toxics-free Arnika Stockholm Convention is not about avoiding costs for treatment of wastes but “is to protect human health and the environment from POPs”.

IPEN is calling for a #PlasticsTreaty that aims to reduce plastics production and promote safer materials for a true circular economy.

…from plastic chemicals that pollute the air, water, food and bodies of communities who are already at risk from numerous toxic exposures.
5/6

Plastic waste shipped from Western countries ends up in dumps mostly in low- and mid-income countries, creating an #EnvironmentalJustice crisis…
4/6

Because plastics are made with toxic chemicals they are inherently incompatible with a #CircularEconomy . Recycling plastics means recycling toxic chemicals – plastics poison the circular economy.
3/6

Scientists say we urgently need to stop making more #plastics – but the industry is ramping up production, with plans to triple plastics production by 2050.
2/6

#Plastics contain invisible health threats from chemicals like #BPA , #PFAS and others linked to cancer, infertility and other serious conditions. IPEN’s new video shows how plastics expose children and families to harmful chemicals throughout our lives.
