We don't need a plastics treaty for nations to enact polluter-pays laws now: Doug Woodring
The latest round of negotiations for a global plastic treaty ended in failure. Speaking to the Eco-Business Podcast, Doug Wooding, managing director of Hong Kong-based nonprofit Ocean Recovery Alliance, said that countries do not need to wait for a treaty, and should enact polluter-pays laws that mandate firms to recover the plastic they put into the market and finance the chronically under-funded circular economy.
Tune in as we discuss:
What now? INC5.3?
Is no treaty better than a watered down treaty?
Recycled content mandates versus virgin plastic caps
Pressure brands not petrochemical producers
Action is possible without a treaty
The need for regulatory consistency for plastics
What will a realistic treaty look like?
What should a treaty look like for Asia?
