The UN Environmental Programme (Unep) has released the "zero draft" of its legally-binding treaty to tackle plastic waste, including options to restrict virgin plastic production and mandate recycled content requirements. The zero draft will be debated by participating states at the third session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC-3) in November. It sets out a number of potential measures taking into account the range of opinions from the second INC (INC-2) session. These include proposed upstream restrictions on plastic production, which were more likely to be favoured by developing countries, and downstream measures focused on circularity, design-for-recycling and waste management.
