Before negotiations on the plastic contract, which began in Geneva on Tuesday (August 5, 2025), Davida Munetra Kazhagam (DMK) Member of Parliament Thamizhachi Thangapandian presented on Monday “Rob”, which was fully confessed, and fully enforced and fully enforced and fully live It lived and fully lifelong and lived and fully enforced and fully life and fully enforced, and fully enforced and fully enforced and fully enforced and fully enforced and fully enforced and fully enforced and fully enforced and fully enforced and tired and fully pursued and fully enforced. forced. Plastic cycle.
Mrshangapandian expressed her position on behalf of the intearm coalition to end the plastic pollution (ICPP). It is a team of deputies from about 30 countries who promote a stronger Member States action to solve plastic pollution. Their position does not necessarily have to be struggled with the current attitude of their countries in plastics negotiations, formally called the International Bargaining Commission (INC 5.2).
Since 2022, when the UN Environmental Environment has adopted a mandate to create the first plastic contract in the world, 190 members of the members of the regular meeting were organized to develop a comprehensive agreement to end the centuries -old dependence of humanity on plastic. This means rule in the production of plastic, eliminate plastic waste and inclusion in measures to ensure that plastic is appropriately solved throughout its life cycle.
While countries are basically agreed, there are sharp differences in access to that. Some countries insist on the ceiling for production, others are against it; Others reflect that the improvement of plastic waste recycling is adequate; Others, however, argue that developed countries must pay developing countries for the cost of switching to a non -lighter economy.
Despite five meetings since 2022, the document was not agreed on the way. It was expected that the 5 issues in South Korea, Busan, would be convincing, but resulted in a complete stalemate requiring negotiations in Geneva called International Barling Committee 5.2, which is officially expected to continue until the age of 14. The fixed contract will prepare a way for the annual interviews for the parties (COP) conference, similar to the UN negotiations for the climate.
In Busan’s interviews, she expressed her inability to agree to reduce production. “India would like to give its inability to support all measures to regulate the production of primary plastic polymers because it has greater consequences relating to the right to develop Member States,” said Indian leader of the delegation Narnesh Pal Gangwar from the Ministry of the Environment. “India has always been committed to the principle of consensus in decision -making on essential matters on the basis of multilateral environmental agreements. This principle repeats collective decision -making and reflects shared responsibility and obligation.”
The letter Mrs Thangapandian reflects a more ambitious proposal than the public position of India.
“The contract must go beyond the voluntary action and must include legally binding obligations that span the entire plastic life cycle from production and design to disposal … India must support the global challenge to reduce the production of virgin plastic. More than 16,000 chemicals are found in plastic products, at least 4,200. He stated that it is a pioneering prohibition of pioneering pioneering and its waste management systems in the Globe, which is on average.
