The treaty offers African nations a chance to mitigate pollution while receiving global support. Key tools include: ♻️ Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) – shifting the cost of waste from governments to producers ♻️ Deposit-return incentives – where feasible ♻️ Context-specific single-use plastic strategies – implemented fairly and realistically Our FREE e-learning course, Waste Management and the Global Plastics Treaty, equips you with the knowledge to support national action plans and sustainable solutions in your community.
