Comments made by materials scientist Chris DeArmitt that plastics are not toxic and their impact on ecosystems has been overstated became the centre of debate at the ReThink sustainability conference. An NGO appealed to DeArmitt's audience to carefully review the science.
The shift from a global approach to national programmes means reducing plastics at source becomes optional, and presents new challenges for China.
Malaysian MPs welcomed a memorandum signed by over a hundred civil society organisations urging the government to lead Asean negotiations on a binding treaty to curb plastic production, eliminate toxic chemicals, and manage plastic waste.
Plastic waste is an exploding global problem, with minimal recycling resulting in incineration as a common disposal practice. Shipments of plastic products and plastic waste from the Global North to the Global South are contributing to a flood of plastics that are not recycled and often burned.
