Pakistan should prioritize building and improving controlled waste disposal facilities, such as engineered landfills, to safely manage and prevent leakage of plastic waste to iniernalional standards.
BFFP, Waste Management, Petrochemicals and Brands agree that The Plastic Pollution Treaty should prioritise measures that enhance recyclability and create a more circular value chain for plastics.
Opening Statements from Thérèse Coffey, Secretary of State for the UK Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra).
Plastic pollution has a direct and deadly effect on our wildlife, polluting our ocean and damaging our planet,” said Thérèse Coffey, Secretary of State for the UK Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). “Our laws are already helping to cut waste domestically, and international action is needed to end plastic pollution by 2040. The first of the UK dialogues was important in bringing together government, business and environmental organisations on this issue – it’s vital for us all to work together if we are to make progress in tackling plastic pollution globally.
