BRIDGE TO BUSAN:


DECLARATION ON PRIMARY PLASTIC POLYMERS

We, the undersigned members of the intergovernmental negotiating committee (INC)
and those concerned about the many harms of plastic pollution to human health
and the environment, are committed to ending plastic pollution worldwide.

We reaffirm the mandate of United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA) Resolution
5/14 to develop an international legally binding instrument on plastic
pollution, including in the marine environment, based on a comprehensive
approach that addresses the full lifecycle of plastics.

We emphasize that the full lifecycle of plastics includes the production of
primary plastic polymers.

Studies show that the world cannot achieve its goals of ending plastic pollution
and limiting global average temperature rise to less than 1.5° Celsius if the
unsustainable production of primary plastic polymers is not addressed.

Left unaddressed, production of primary plastic polymers is projected to
increase exponentially through 2050 and could overwhelm national waste
management and recycling programs, even after significant improvements supported
by the new instrument.

Addressing the unsustainable production of primary plastic polymers is not only
essential to ending plastic pollution worldwide; it also represents one of the
most efficient and cost-effective approaches to managing the plastic pollution
problem.

Moreover, a balancing of efforts across the full lifecycle of plastics—from
production and design through waste management and remediation—is necessary to
equitably distribute the overall burden of efforts shared among countries, each
of which must contribute to achieving the collective goals of the new
instrument.

For these reasons, we call on members to:

COMMIT to achieve sustainable levels of production of primary plastic polymers.
This includes ensuring production matches ambitions for a circular economy for
plastics, while aligning with the Paris Agreement goal of limiting warming to
1.5°C.

ENSURE transparency in the production of primary plastic polymers.  This
includes reporting of data on the production of primary plastic polymers to
close information gaps, assess progress and inform priorities.

AGREE to a global objective regarding the sustainable production of primary
plastic polymers. This may include production freezes at specified levels,
production reductions against agreed baselines, or other agreed constraints to
prevent the unsustainable production of primary plastic polymers.
