Haley Lowry Policies being discussed in this global treaty , like EPR that I mentioned previously , which is being implemented by countries across the globe , provide a huge opportunity to further unlock the economics and enable investment in circular solutions .

Embracing concepts like EPR and mass balance accounting will encourage the plastics value chain to take on additional financial and operational obligations from raw materials to endof-life , while incentivising greater use of recycled plastics .

A successful agreement can end the leakage of plastic waste into the environment while preserving the essential benefits of this valuable material to our society .

With meaningful collaboration among stakeholders , a circular economy for plastics is within our reach . We want to see a practical , sustainable and implementable agreement , and cannot miss this opportunity to seize it .
