 ♻️ 𝐖𝐄𝐃𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆: 𝟕 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐌𝐎𝐍 𝐓𝐘𝐏𝐄𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐂 Let’s take a moment to look at your lunch box, water bottle, or coffee cup – you might find a number on it. Have you wondered what it stands for? Each type of plastic is unique, with some being reusable and others producing hazardous materials after several uses. While some plastics are easily recyclable, others require more sophisticated handling. 🌱 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐚 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐮𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐞𝐬, 𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐲. 𝟏. 𝐏𝐄𝐓 (𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐲𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐲𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐞 𝐓𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐡𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞): Common in water bottles and food packaging due to its strong ability to prevent oxygen from spoiling the product inside. However, it contains antimony trioxide that can cause cancer.  𝟐. 𝐇𝐃𝐏𝐄 (𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡-𝐃𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐲𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐲𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐞): Found in milk jugs, detergent bottles, and plastic bags. Denser, stronger, and thicker than PET, making it durable and widely recycled.  𝟑. 𝐏𝐕𝐂 (𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐲𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐲𝐥 𝐂𝐡𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞): Used in toys, pipes, and medical equipment. Rarely recycled due to its chemical makeup.  𝟒. 𝐋𝐃𝐏𝐄 (𝐋𝐨𝐰-𝐃𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐲𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐲𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐞): The most used family of plastics in the world. Present in shopping bags and some food wraps. Flexible and often recycled into bin liners and floor tiles. Although it is considered a safer plastic option for food and drink use, it is difficult to recycle.  𝟓. 𝐏𝐏 (𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐲𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐲𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐞): Found in yogurt containers, thermal vests, and car parts. Tough, heat-resistant. However, PP isn’t entirely recyclable and could cause asthma and hormone disruption in humans.  𝟔. 𝐏𝐒 (𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐲𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞): Known as Styrofoam, used in food containers, egg cartons, disposable cups and bowls. Lightweight but not widely recycled. When exposed to hot and oily food, PS can leach styrene, a brain and nervous system toxicant.  𝟕. 𝐎𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 (𝐕𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬): Includes a variety of plastics such as nylon. Recyclability varies and some contain BPA, a harmful chemical.

Last week in Dalian, China, the World Economic Forum hosted the Annual Meeting of the New Champions 2024 #AMNC24, bringing together over 1,500 leaders from business, government, civil society, international organizations, and academia.   With 2024 projected to be the hottest year in history, the urgency to meet the 2015 Paris Agreement targets has never been greater. Our global commons—ocean, biodiversity, and land—are facing unprecedented threats from plastic pollution, biodiversity loss, and climate change.   During the session "An Important Moment for the Global Commons," participants highlighted several opportunities to leverage multilateral processes: 🏞 Despite the complexities, uniting nations and stakeholders can yield long-term results by focusing on common areas and avoiding contradictions. 🌐 Diverse stakeholders must take a more active role in fostering effective multilateralism through wider participation, innovative partnerships, and increased involvement of non-public institutions.   Read more insights from AMNC24: https://lnkd.in/gTVVJ4rz   Global Plastic Action Partnership, Friends of Ocean Action, Naoko Ishii, Fareed Yasseen, satvinder singh, Alfredo Giron Nava, Akanksha Khatri, Gemma Parkes, Erin Skoczylas, Anna-Maria Fyfe Hug, Clemence Schmid, Christian Kaufholz, Liviana Zorzi, Xi Xie   #AMNC24 #Dalian #NaturePositive

The Voluntary Pact’s co-design workshop, a significant step forward, aimed to reduce 70% of single-use plastics in Ghana's supermarkets by 2030.

Industry leaders such as MaxMart, Marina Mall, Melcom, Green Butterfly Market, All Needs Supermarket, and Sneda Shop, along with political partners, stakeholders, and organizations like the Environmental Protection Agency and Food and Beverages Association of Ghana, participated in the session. Ghana National Plastic Action Partnership appreciates the opportunity to collaborate and align strategies to combat plastic pollution and is optimistic about our progress.

On 25 June 2024, the Indonesia National Plastic Action Partnership (NPAP) held a discussion with Indonesia’s local FMCGs and retailers. As the private sector plays a significant role in combatting plastic pollution, NPAP facilitated an open discussion and knowledge exchange about the challenges in plastic management faced by the private sector and their ways to overcome them. The discussions are held in the wake of the global plastic treaty negotiations and Indonesia’s increasing commitment to tackle plastic pollution, reflected in Presidential Regulation 83/2018, 97/2017, and Environment and Forestry Ministerial Regulation 75/2019. The forum also provides more information on key strategic issues in plastic waste management and the national policy for the participants. We appreciate all local FMCGs and retails who joined our fruitful discussion: Nutrifood, PT Indofood Sukses Makmur Tbk , Sinar Mas Agro Resources and Technology (SMART), Cimory Group, PT Kino Indonesia Tbk, Wings Group Indonesia (Sayap Mas Utama), PT.

From 5 to 8 June 2024, we consecutively celebrate World Environment and Ocean Day. Let's use this opportunity to reflect on and protect our precious ocean and environment together by reducing plastic pollution. Indonesia and the world is currently under threat from plastic pollution. Resolving the challenges will require cooperation and collaboration between the government, industry, civil society, and the public, which includes you! Small changes in our daily habits, like not using single-use plastic, reusable bags, and water bottles, can make a big difference. Every action, every collaboration, and every effort is a step towards preserving the beauty and diversity for future generations. Remember, the change starts with you, the #GenerationRestoration. #WorldEnvironmentDay #WorldOceanDay 🌍🌊
