NNA - Ministers and representatives of about 60 countries met today, Saturday, at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris, to discuss solutions to the international plastic crisis, in a meeting organized by France to give impetus to the delicate negotiations on an international treaty to combat plastic pollution, which will resume Monday in Paris, according to "Agence France-Presse".

"Plastic exists in nature and now it is in our lungs," said French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna at the start of the talks, "so the time has come to stop this invasion, first by stopping the growth of plastic production."
She stressed the need to "eliminate single-use plastic," saying, "It constitutes 40% of global production, and frankly it is useless."
For his part, the Minister of Environmental Transition, Christophe Piceau, pointed out that the issue of recycling should not replace the discussion about reducing plastic production.
