Business leaders call for a legally binding Global Plastics Treaty
The call comes as many companies are struggling to meet their plastic commitments – and some are even dropping them completely.
The CEOs of 22 corporations including Danone, IKEA and Mars have signed an open letter calling on governments to adopt a legally binding Global Plastics treaty before the end of the year.
The companies – all members of the Business Coalition for a Global Plastics Treaty – published the letter ahead of the UN Environment Programme’s (UNEP) fifth session on the topic, also known as INC-5. The meeting taking place in South Korea at the end of November is the last planned round of negotiations to finalise the treaty.
