Episode 3: Pathways to decreasing plastic production
We have to drastically reduce our fossil fuel consumption, not replace one with another. To regain international leadership in fighting the climate and plastic pollution crises and to protect citizens from escalating prices and resulting conflicts, the European Union needs to confront and drastically reduce virgin plastic production, starting with halting the production of unnecessary single-use plastics and packaging. EU packaging and packaging waste policies and global policy opportunities such as the Global Plastics Treaty are paving the way for transformation. But what is the real potential for change? And what are environmental activists expecting from these processes? Join us for the last episode of this podcast series with host Sarah Diedro Jordão and her guests Esra Tat (Zero Waste Europe) and Carroll Muffett (Center for International Environmental Law).
Transcript: Coming soon!
