Why we need a primary plastic polymer fee
Developing nations face a financing gap of up to 500 billion USD to implement an ambitious treaty that ends plastic pollution by 2040.
A small fee making a big difference
A small fee on primary polymer production if implemented by all member states would close this gap.
Even with partial adoption, such a fee could deliver major benefits in tackling plastic pollution and have a decisive impact on the success of the UN Plastic Treaty.
