Finally looked up how to get rid of Google‘s automatic AI answers (and the attached waste of resources) and it‘s so easy! What relief. 😅

Calling @magnuslovold.bsky.social to brainstorm titles. Some first ideas: The Plastic Chair / House of Polymers / Plastic Sabotage / Multilayer Lateralism

Can‘t wait for the Netflix (or whatever the future platforms name is) nine-part series on this.

So true.

UN plastics treaty chair to step down with process in turmoil Exclusive: Luis Vayas Valdivieso says he is quitting for personal and professional reasons after reports of pressure behind the scenes

Vayas is out as chair of the #plasticstreaty negotiations. But he wasn't the primary problem. Many countries claim to want a treaty but allow a few naysayers to exercise effective veto power, protected by the UNEP Secretariat. We need more than a new chair. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

What drama…

💣 Not sure if this is good or bad👇
„The chair of stalled UN #plastics treaty talks, Luis Vayas Valdivieso, is preparing to step down, after accounts of behind-the-scenes pressure from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).“

UN politics won’t deliver an ambitious plastics treaty Negotiators again failed to finalize the text for a global plastics treaty in Geneva in August 2025. The talks exposed two harsh truths. Consensus on the treaty text, where no state formally objects, ...

The best way to defend multilateralism is by delivering results. @jenirisallan.bsky.social and Peter Dauvergne points to a practical way forward for countries interested in stopping plastic pollution, in @science.org www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

It was so great to see you, Melanie. We have to follow up on Martin‘s retreat idea soon (preferably under the Northern Lights) 😁

So nice to return to my Alma mater (FU Berlin) for a panel discussion on #microplastics in humans at the science journalism congress @wissenswerte.bsky.social & meet some of my favourite journalists like @anjakrieger.bsky.social & @anjamartini.bsky.social & lovely colleague @martiwag.bsky.social ☺️!

Wow 😮

Plastics from #coal:

The sprawling, CNY 48 billion (USD 6.7 billion), Ningxia Baofeng Energy complex in northwestern China, which opened in March 2025, will convert millions of tonnes of coal annually into chemicals for manufacturing plastics, "part of a growing industry found almost nowhere else".

China offers unlikely glimmer of hope in fight against plastic pollution Subtle shift in Asian industrial giant’s position sparks optimism for further talks to control plastics.

"Several delegates and observers noted more openness from China on several measures in Geneva, including those aimed at phasing out problematic #plastic products —culminating in a public statement that many see as a seemingly subtle yet seismic shift." #PlasticsTreaty

The fabulous @anjakrieger.bsky.social has produced another superb, educational episode of her Plastisphere podcast, this time with Jane Muncke & @martiwag.bsky.social explaining the problems of plastic chemicals and their control (or, rather, lack thereof). Well worth a listen!

Ai and plastics have so much in common
- yes, they can be useful in some very specific applications, but they're actually subpar in many cases (breaks/spills BS)
- they are huge sources of pollution
- they are marketed to us as "inevitable"
- once introduced, they're impossible to get rid of

"If the intent was to jolt the majority awake, Vayas got what he wanted. His initial draft functioned as a kind of shock therapy, illustrating what a treaty would look like should the progressive bloc fail to unite." @magnuslovold.bsky.social on the #plasticstreaty 🤯
