Plastics Treaty INC4

The fifth session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee to develop an international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution, including in the marine environment (INC-5), took place from 25 November to 1 December 2024 in Busan, Republic of Korea. The negotiations ended without finalizing the treaty text. Several IPEN experts including IPEN POs from South Asia actively participated in the conference to push for treaty text addressing plastics throughout its life cycle.

INC5.2 will now occur in 2025, and the chair's non-paper will be the starting point of the negotiations.

CEJ (Sri Lanka), ESDO (Bangladesh), Hamraah Foundation (India), and Toxics Link (India) participated in the meeting.
