Art Installation © Von Wong Productions, #TurnOffThePlasticTap. The Giant Plastic Tap was an art installation by artist Benjamin Von Wong at the UN Headquarters in Nairobi. It was on display during the United Nations Environment Assembly in 2022, when delegates agreed to establish an Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee with the mandate to forge an international legally binding agreement to end plastic pollution.

EPR systems can allow producers to exercise their responsibility by providing the financial resources required and/or by taking over the operational aspects of the process from municipalities. They assume the responsibility voluntarily or mandatorily; EPR systems can be implemented individually or collectively (UNEP/PP/INC.1/6). Feedstock – any bulk raw material that is the principal input for an industrial production process. Flexible monomaterial plastics - see definition under ‘Plastic categories’. Geographic archetype - parts of the world with similar characteristics when it comes to plastic waste. The archetypes are divided into groups depending on country income, according to World Bank definitions: high-income economies; upper and lower middle-income economies; and low-income economies. The rural and urban settings for each of the four income groups are also analysed separately to create eight geographic archetypes (The Pew Charitable Trusts and Systemiq 2020). Incineration - destruction and transformation of material to energy by combustion. Informal waste sector – where workers and economic units are involved in solid waste collection, recovery and recycling activities which are – in law or in practice – not covered or insufficiently covered by formal arrangements. Leakage – materials that do not follow an intended pathway and ‘escape’ or are otherwise lost to the system. Litter is an example of system leakage (The Pew Charitable Trusts and Systemiq 2020). Legacy (plastic) - plastics that cannot be reused or recycled, including plastics that are already in the environment as existing pollution, or are stocked or will enter in the economy e.g. in short-lived or durable products designed without considering their circularity or long-term use in the economy. Managed landfill - a place where collected waste has been deposited in a central location and where the waste is controlled through daily, intermediate and final cover, thus preventing the top layer from escaping into the natural environment through wind and surface water (The Pew Charitable Trusts and Systemiq 2020). Maritime sources - all plastics that enter the environment from seagoing vessels (including from fishing activities) (The Pew Charitable Trusts and Systemiq 2020). Mechanical recycling - processing of plastics waste into secondary raw material or products without significantly changing the chemical structure of the material (ISO:472:2013). Microfibres - microsize fragments (5mm) released via textiles shedding to air, water or wastewater during production or use. Microplastics – refers to plastic particles less than five millimetres diameter, including nano-sized particles (UNEP/EA.2/ Res.11). Midstream activities – involve the design, manufacture, packaging, distribution, use (and reuse) and maintenance of plastic products and services. Keeping plastic products at midstream as long as possible is ideal for circularity, because this is where plastic products have their highest value (UNEP/PP/INC.1/7). Mismanaged waste - collected waste that has been released or deposited in a place from where it can move into the natural environment (intentionally or otherwise). This includes dumpsites and unmanaged landfills. Uncollected waste is categorised as unmanaged (The Pew Charitable Trusts and Systemiq 2020). v
