Following lobbyism for so-called ocean cleanup at #INC1, more #greenwashing and technofixes vs ocean #plastics as a business model on arrival at ⁦@FraportAG@twitter.com⁩. We have to turn off the tap!

Good bye, Punta del Este and #Uruguay! Grateful for all the help and great hospitality received! It‘s a real pity that I cannot explore this beautiful countryside seen during the bus ride to the airport. #INC1

“Plastics are not anymore being seen as just a marine litter issue. People are discussing #plastic as a material made of chemicals," said Vito Buonsante, policy adviser for the Int. Pollutants Elimination Network.”There has been a narrative shift."#INC1 https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/countries-split-plastics-treaty-focus-un-talks-close-2022-12-03/

Countries split on plastics treaty focus as UN talks close https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/countries-split-plastics-treaty-focus-un-talks-close-2022-12-03/ #PlasticsTreaty #plasticpollution #plastics #INC1

Die 1. Verhandlungsrunde #INC1 für ein globales #Plastik Abkommen ist geschafft! 1000 Dank für die herzliche Gastfreundschaft der Menschen von Punta del Este, #Uruguay und an das tolle deutsche Team! Hoffen wir dass #INC2 mehr Substanz bringt,um Plastikverschmutzung zu mindern!

We have a decision: #INC2 will be held in #Paris. Russia opposed the Canadian application for #INC3 because of visa issues of its delegates for the UN Biodiversity negotiations. #INC1 #PlasticsTreaty #Plastic

So grateful I could be part of this great & ambitious ⁦⁦@EU_Commission@twitter.com⁩ coordination team, particularly to the incredible leadership of the Swedish delegation that steered us calmly & well-prepared through #INC1! What an experience! #PlasticsTreaty ⁦@AWI_de@twitter.com⁩

So grateful for the brief yet powerful interventions by the UK delegation during #INC1. Such a shame it left the EU.

"Recycling without waste pickers is garbage." @TrashForPeace@twitter.com #INC1 #plasticstreaty #plasticspollution "We demand a just transition." Health studies. Support. The meaningful inclusion of impacted stakeholders. Safer plastics. Safer mechanical recycling. No false tech fast-fixes.

Dear @UNEP@twitter.com IT folks broadcasting the mtg via YouTube, and all those reporting out from #plasticstreaty #INC1 #plasticsINC, so appreciate the chance to "listen in" and learn from afar. Very grateful. Hang in -- another long day/night. @ciel@twitter.com @IISD_ENB@twitter.com @brkfreeplastic@twitter.com @ToxicsFree@twitter.com
