INC- 3 - Searious Business written statement

In response to the call from the INC secretariat to submit written statements following INC-2, Searious Business issued the following statement:

The talks must not be distracted into dealing with plastic pollution through a panacea of waste management. Cleaning up, collecting plastic waste, recycling it or using it for energy must be a last resort. Production needs to be capped, and reduction methods must be prioritised over increased circularity.
