The first worldwide “plastic restriction order” is coming.
At the United Nations Environment Conference, which ended on March 2, delegates from 175 countries adopted a resolution to end plastic pollution.
The resolution aims to establish an Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee with the goal of completing a legally binding international agreement by the end of 2024 to solve the problem of plastic pollution control.
The United Nations Environment Programme said that in addition to working with governments, the resolution would also allow enterprises to participate in discussions and seek investment from outside the government to study the recycling of plastics.
Inger Andersen, executive director of the United Nations Environment Programme, said that this is the most important agreement in the field of global environmental governance since the signing of the Paris Agreement in 2015.
“Plastic pollution has become an epidemic. Through today’s resolution, we are officially on the road to cure,” said ESPEN Barth Eide, President of the United Nations Environment assembly and Minister of climate and environment of Norway
The United Nations Environment assembly is held every two years to determine the priorities of global environmental policy and formulate international environmental law.
This year’s meeting opened in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, on February 28. Controlling global plastic pollution is one of the most important topics of the conference.
According to the report data of the organization for economic cooperation and development, in 2019, the global amount of plastic waste was about 353 million tons, but only 9% of plastic waste was recycled. At the same time, the scientific community is increasingly worried about the potential impact of marine plastic fragments and micro plastics.
Affected by the above news, on March 3, the degradable plastic sector in the A-share market rose and strengthened.
As of today’s close, Guangdong Tengen Industrial Group Co.Ltd(003003) ( Guangdong Tengen Industrial Group Co.Ltd(003003) .
