Listen "A brief look at the Primary Plastic Polymer Fee"
Episode Synopsis
As INC-5.2 approaches, we take a closer look at one of the most talked-about ideas in the global plastic treaty negotiations: a primary plastic polymer fee. What is it, how would it work, and why does it matter? In this special extended episode of the Reloop Brief, host Barry Snedden speaks with Hugo Schally, retired European Commission official and former lead EU negotiator on plastics, Oliver Boachie, former special advisor to Ghana’s Ministry of Environment and lead negotiator for the African group, and Clarissa Morawski, Reloop’s CEO and co-founder.Together, they explore how a small upstream fee could deliver major financing for plastic pollution solutions, especially in the Global South. They also unpack the deadlocks and divisions ahead of INC-5.2, and what might happen if the treaty falls short.
