⚠️ Global plastic production has reached 400 million tons per year, with only 9% being recycled!

That is why the EU seeks an ambitious 🌍 #PlasticsTreaty to #BeatPlasticPollution at the 5th session of the #INC5, starting today in 🇨🇭 Geneva 👉 https://t.co/izGewAKNbG https://t.co/L63OP5l5PT

Did you know?

Mulch films alone make up nearly 40% of total use, while greenhouse films contribute close to 3 million tonnes annually.

At #INC52, @FAO is advocating for an ambitious #PlasticsTreaty, ensuring agrifood systems are part of the solution to #BeatPlasticPollution 🌱 https://t.co/XjTfI1xyNK

Short use, lasting damage: Most plastics used in agriculture are single-use and become waste within 12 months.

Yet, residues can persist in soils for decades.

Most agricultural plastics are never collected or recycled.

Instead, they’re often burned, buried, or left in fields, polluting soils and threatening ecosystems.

@FAO is working to change that.

RT @FAO: From mulch films to fishing gear, plastics are widely used in agriculture — but their growing footprint is degrading soils, threatening animal health and ecosystems.

RT @antonioguterres: I deeply regret that negotiations to reach a legally binding #PlasticsTreaty concluded without a consensus.

I welcome countries' determination to continue working to #BeatPlasticPollution & deliver the treaty the world needs to tackle this monumental challenge.

EVERY SINGLE DAY the equivalent of 2,000 garbage trucks full of plastic are dumped into the world’s oceans, rivers & lakes.

We don’t need to tell you why this is bad. We just need to remind you that we need to take action.

⚠ Today, a new EU regulation on microplastic pollution enters into force!

The new EU rules are to prevent microplastic pollution from plastic pellets - to reduce microplastic emissions at their source.

New package of measures to strengthen Europe’s plastic recycling ♻️

Why? Because circular solutions can cut the sector’s climate-related emissions by 45% and improve the sector’s trade balance by €18 billion per year by 2050

We continue to fight plastics💪 - but we need your input.

Join our public consultation to evaluate our Single-Use Plastics Directive (SUPD) as it's now 4 years since key restrictions started to apply across the EU.
