Nearly 100 Countries Call for an Ambitious Global Treaty to End Plastic Pollution
|
At the 2025 United Nations Ocean Conference, more than 95 countries issued a joint declaration called the “Nice Wake-Up Call”, urging the creation of a strong, legally binding global treaty to stop the escalating crisis of plastic pollution. The declaration highlights that global plastic production has surged to over 400 million tons per year, with one-third used for single-use items. Meanwhile, less than 10% of plastic waste is recycled. Approximately 11 million tons of plastic enter the oceans annually, harming marine ecosystems and posing long-term risks to human health. The declaration outlines five key principles: 1. Managing plastics across their entire lifecycle—from production and design to disposal. 2. Phasing out harmful chemicals and problematic products. 3. Improving product design to support safer, more circular materials. 4. Implementing clear and enforceable mechanisms, not just political statements. 5. Ensuring the treaty can evolve, adapting to new science and emerging challenges. Several participating nations emphasized that recycling alone cannot solve the crisis. Real progress requires reducing plastic at the source, redesigning products, and adopting sustainable alternative materials. The next and crucial round of negotiations will take place in August 2025 in Geneva, where countries aim to finalize a legally binding global agreement to protect the environment, oceans, and human health. For companies dedicated to sustainable packaging and plastic-free innovation, this growing global momentum reinforces the rising demand for environmentally responsible materials and design. |
