?? Our delegation is already in Busan ready to advocate for a health-centered Global Plastics Treaty in #INC5. The health care sector is a major plastic consumer and generates a significant amount of plastic waste. But the sector can also lead in the transformation to break our reliance on plastic health care products. Many facilities worldwide are already taking action and promoting sustainable procurement and reducing single-use plastics, as shown by our Global Green and Healthy Hospitals Network. ?? We need the rest of the world, especially the plastic-producing industries to do the same. Take action now by sending an email to the INC-5 delegation at https://lnkd.in/gdNEQZA9.
