From community organizers to frontline waste pickers to policymakers, GAIA
unites and supports local environmental justice efforts around the world to end
waste pollution and implement regenerative zero waste solutions.
GOING ZERO WASTE
Going Zero Waste — fundamentally restructuring a system that sends billions of
tons of waste a year into our land, oceans, and air — is about regeneration,
respect for nature, and environmental and social justice. Implementing zero
waste strategies such as waste reduction, composting, recycling, and industrial
redesign leads to more resilient cities and communities, social equity, and
healthier environments.

Contrary to the plastic industry’s claims about their contribution to the global
economy, plastic has high environmental, social, and health costs and brings
limited economic benefits. Plastic reduction, in fact, offers greater economic
opportunities through the creation of new, local businesses and reduction in
public spending on pollution management.

Antes de la cuarta ronda de negociaciones de las Naciones Unidas para un tratado
global sobre plásticos que se llevará a cabo del 23 al 29 de abril en Ottawa, el
Laboratorio Nacional Lawrence Berkeley (LBNL) publicó un estudio pionero que
revela el enorme impacto climático de la producción de plástico. La Alianza
Global para Alternativas a la Incineración (GAIA) ha preparado un informe de
políticas que muestra cuán rápido el mundo debe reducir la producción de
plástico para evitar un calentamiento catastrófico. Las conclusiones del informe
refuerzan la importancia de que el tratado de plásticos cubra todo el ciclo de
vida del plástico, desde la extracción hasta la eliminación, tal como se
consagra en el acuerdo entre 175 países -la Resolución 5/14 de la UNEA-, que

Principales conclusiones:
* El impacto de los plásticos en el clima comienza con la fase de extracción.
El 75% de todas las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero procedentes de
la producción de plásticos primarios se producen antes de la etapa de
polimerización. Con vistas a comprender, medir, evaluar y abordar en forma

conforme lo establecido en el Acuerdo de París. Para evitar superar el límite
de 1,5°C establecido en el Acuerdo de París, a partir de 2024, la producción

PLASTIC PRODUCTION REDUCTION: THE CLIMATE IMPERATIVE
×
– Climate – April 18, 2024
FacebookTwitterLinkedInTeilen
In advance of the fourth round of United Nations negotiations for an
international plastics treaty in Ottawa April 23-29, Lawrence Berkeley National
Laboratory (LBNL) has released a groundbreaking study revealing the enormous
climate impact of plastic production.
In response to the report, Dr. Neil Tangri, Science and Policy Director at the
Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives (GAIA), Dr. Jorge Emmanuel of
Siliman University, Philippines, and Dr. Sam Adu-Kumi, former Director of the
Chemicals Control and Management Centre of the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), Ghana, have penned a policy brief contextualizing LBNL’s findings within
the Paris Climate Agreement and global carbon budget, and how this research
strengthens the mandate for a strong plastics treaty that dramatically cuts
plastic production.
Key Takeaways:
* Plastics’ impact on the climate starts with extraction. To fully capture,
measure, evaluate and address the impacts of plastic pollution, assessment
and regulatory controls must consider the complete lifecycle, beginning with
extraction.
* Growth in plastic production alone will doom international climate goals.
Even if every other source of greenhouse gas emissions – transportation,
electricity, agriculture, heavy industry, etc. – were to miraculously and
completely decarbonize in 2024, at current growth rates, primary plastic
production alone would completely consume the global carbon budget as early
as 2060 and no later than 2083.
* Deep, rapid cuts in plastic production are required by the Paris Agreement.
To avoid breaching the 1.5°C limit set by the Paris Agreement, primary
plastic production must decrease by at least 12% to 17% per year, starting in
2024.

CSOS CALL FOR ASEAN LEADERSHIP FOR A SUCCESSFUL GLOBAL PLASTICS TREATY TO END
PLASTIC POLLUTION
×
Asia Pacific – – 18 April 2024
FacebookTwitterLinkedInTeilen
CSOs urge ASEAN leaders to take a strong stance in the ongoing negotiations to
develop an international legally binding instrument to address plastic
pollution, including in the marine environment.
18 April 2024; Jakarta, Indonesia— Today, the Global Alliance for Incinerator
Alternatives (GAIA) Asia Pacific, together with other civil society
organizations including Environmental Justice Foundation and Basel Action
Network, transmitted a letter to the office of the Association of Southeast
Asian Nations (ASEAN) Secretariat, calling for ASEAN leadership to take a strong
stance in the ongoing negotiations for the global instrument to end plastic
pollution.The letter was signed by over 100 civil society organizations (CSOs)
from across Asia and the world.
Delegates from ASEAN member states— together with about 170 member states of the
United Nations are set to gather in Ottawa, Canada for the fourth meeting of the
International Negotiating Committee (INC-4) to develop an international legally
binding instrument to end plastic pollution, including in the marine
environment, from April 23 to 29, 2024.
Southeast Asia, much of which forms an archipelago with islands severely
impacted by marine debris, is also polluted at various stages throughout the
plastic supply chain, from the extraction of fossil fuels to manufacturing of
plastics and plastic products, transportation, use, and disposal. Countries in
Southeast Asia also bear the brunt of continuous illegal plastic waste trade
from developed countries, making the region a dumping ground for wastes that are
not recyclable. From single-use plastics to microplastics and toxic pollution
from incineration, the unabated global plastic production will keep communities
in Southeast Asia at the receiving end of a disproportionate burden of toxic
pollution unless ASEAN countries take action.
“ASEAN leaders must take the Global Plastics Treaty as an opportunity for
addressing policy gaps on waste dumping and pushing for greater accountability
to northern governments whose interest is to keep depicting the region as the
most globally polluting to create the fake demands for its polluting waste
technologies in various development cooperation mechanisms, all while dumping
their plastic waste in our borders,” said Mayang Azurin, Deputy Director for
Campaigns of Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives (GAIA) Asia Pacific.
“We urge ASEAN to protect the region as the home for empowering, sustainable and
proven solutions by ensuring an ambitious Global Plastics Treaty.”
CSOs from across the region call on ASEAN delegates to step up for a binding
treaty that truly addresses pollution across the full life cycle of plastics,
prioritizing reduction in global plastic production and phasing out of hazardous
chemicals, including polymers that make up plastics. It is time to end decades
of waste colonialism; eliminate toxins; ensure transparency and traceability of
chemicals across the plastic life cycle; scale up reuse and refill
infrastructure; implement extended producer responsibility; safeguard human
rights, especially people’s right to health, clean air and water; support just
transition; and put an end to false solutions, such as plastic credits and
technologies that do not address pollution at source, as well as regrettable
plastic substitutes such as biobased plastics which only exacerbate the problem.
With only a few months left for treaty negotiations, INC-4 is a crucial reminder
for Member States to protect the rights of their people whose livelihoods,
well-being, intergenerational and gender justice all hang loose on the fate of
the prospective treaty.
“We call on the ASEAN member countries to negotiate a plastics treaty that
contains strong, legally binding control provisions to protect human health and
the environment,” said Chinkie Pelino-Golle, International Pollutants
Elimination Network (IPEN) Southeast and East Asia Regional Coordinator. “To do
so, solutions that prevent adverse impacts on human health and the environment,
including the elimination of toxic chemicals and increased transparency and
traceability throughout the full life cycle of plastics must be prioritized.”
The groups emphasized how ASEAN can pave the way for an effective treaty, noting
the many citizen-led solutions in Southeast Asia and the demonstrated efforts of
national governments in the region to implement policies to curb plastic
pollution. Now is the time to take these approaches at a global scale with
legally binding agreements.
“ASEAN is pivotal for implementing creative and practical solutions to combat
plastic pollution. Yet, for far too long, the region has suffered from an
oversupply of problematic, single-use, and unnecessary plastic packaging, often
containing unregulated toxic chemicals,” said Salisa Traipipitsiriwat, Senior
Campaigner and Southeast Asia Plastic Project Manager of the Environmental
Justice Foundation. “Inadequate infrastructure and policy gaps have subjected it
to ineffective solutions that keep the business as usual. The Global Plastic
Treaty represents a unique chance for ASEAN leaders to demonstrate their
ability, commitment, and readiness to address plastic pollution. INC-4 and INC-5
are crucial times for ASEAN leaders—our leaders—to demand a strong and ambitious
treaty that puts people and the planet at the forefront.”
After the INC-4, U.N. member states will reconvene in November 2024 in South
Korea for the fifth and final round of negotiations.
Abdul Ghofar, Pollution and Urban Justice Campaigner of Wahana Lingkungan Hidup
Indonesia (WALHI), said:
“ASEAN countries have been a place where developed countries dump their waste in
the name of waste trade. ASEAN is also the largest market for multinational
companies that produce millions of tons of plastic waste, especially sachets.
They make profits, while we get problems. The Global Plastic Treaty is a great
opportunity for ASEAN countries to show the world that we are not the main
source of plastic pollution, but we are the source of solutions to overcome
plastic pollution. We as ASEAN citizens hope that ASEAN leaders can lead by
example by supporting efforts to end waste colonialism, reduce plastic
production and mainstream reuse ecosystems.”
Mageswari Sangaralingam, Senior Research Officer of Consumers’ Association of
Penang & Sahabat Alam Malaysia, said:
“It is clear that we cannot recycle our way out of the plastic crisis. Plastic
circularity or sustainability are false narratives. The world needs to stop
producing unnecessary, hazardous plastics, and reduce plastic production on the
whole, all while ensuring a Just Transition for the most vulnerable groups,
indigenous communities, and workers across the plastics value chain including,
waste pickers, waste workers, and those working in the recycling value chain.
ASEAN should be in the forefront as our communities have the solutions to end
the plastic crisis.”
Xuan Quach, Coordinator/Country Director of Vietnam Zero-Waste Alliance/Pacific
Environment Vietnam, said:
“There are many big hurdles to the treaty’s progress, one of which is how to
ensure a just transition in the treaty’s design. This may be related to
exemption provisions. There is a great need for scientific research to provide
criteria and indicators to determine exemption rights for country members. Break
Free From Plastic may propose to include the criteria and indicators for
determining exemption rights in the appendix and undertake the development of
this set of criteria and indicators. Additionally, a mandatory implementation of
provisions on ‘product design, composition and performance’ globally will create
an opportunity for all member countries to act together in close cooperation of
all stakeholders in the global supply chain towards a sustainable plastic
production and consumption.”

Asia Pacific – Zero waste
FacebookTwitterLinkedInTeilen
Batangas City, close to Manila, is popular for short visits due to its mix of
city life and coastal beauty. It’s a hub for many activities like recreation,
business, and education. The city covers a large area with many neighborhoods,
including some on Verde Island, a famous marine reserve. You can reach Batangas
City from Manila by boat in about 90 minutes or by ferry in 25 minutes. The
city’s population was around 351,437 in 2020, but it grows on weekends when
tourists come to relax.
To deal with the growing amount of garbage caused by more people visiting,
Batangas City has been working hard. They follow national laws on waste
management and even created their own rules before partnering with the Mother
Earth Foundation for a Zero Waste program. In 2010, they made a detailed plan to
manage waste for the next 10 years. They also passed laws to regulate the use of
plastic and styrofoam and set up places to recycle materials in every
neighborhood. This shows their commitment to keeping their city clean and green.
Reaching New Heights Through Zero Waste presents the city’s journey towards zero
waste.

Esta memoria es un compilado del trabajo realizado por GAIA y sus miembros en
América Latina durante el año 2023.
Magdalena Donoso, Coordinadora regional
2023 fue un año turbulento al que miramos con perplejidad, mientras nos volvemos
a componer para enfrentar con realismo un mundo que nos sigue sorprendiendo con
su belleza, el milagro de sus perfectos ritmos, y por el que resistimos las
amenazas que lo destruyen.
Hace unos días escuchaba una canción que decía “me da miedo la enormidad donde
nadie oye mi voz”. Y pensé que al leer las páginas de nuestra memoria, ese miedo
se evapora decididamente porque en ellas está la constatación de que no estamos
solos ni solas. Nos tenemos como movimiento y la energía se multiplica cuando la
usamos en favor de nuestra causa común. Mientras más adverso el panorama, más
fuerzas, más unión y más movimiento necesitamos para mantener vigorosas nuestras
luchas. Mientras más difíciles las luchas, más ternura y confianza debemos
forjar entre nosotros. Es parte silenciosa y fundamental de la fuerza que nos
alienta.
Leer estas páginas no hace más que revitalizar la esperanza, esa fuerza que
llena de luz hasta los más oscuros senderos, y colmarnos de gratitud por lo que
somos, y por lo que todavía no somos y estamos construyendo. Démonos las gracias
por el cuidado, el tiempo y el amor que destinamos todos los días a las luchas
que nos unen y a este espacio que nos acoge, nuestra alianza, nuestra GAIA.

AZWI: BRIDGING DIFFERENCES FOR A COMMON ZERO WASTE GOAL
×
Asia Pacific – Zero waste
FacebookTwitterLinkedInTeilen
Aliansi Zero Waste Indonesia (AZWI) is an alliance of organizations in Indonesia
dedicated to advancing the implementation of the Zero Waste concept. Facing the
persistent challenge of waste pollution amidst governmental support for
waste-to-energy facilities, AZWI emerged from the collaborative efforts of
diverse organizations with a shared vision. The alliance, born from
conversations initiated during the Break Free From Plastic (BFFP) movement,
solidified its formation after successfully challenging a presidential decree
supporting waste-to-energy projects via a Judicial Review.
Comprised initially of nine organizations, AZWI has grown to include ten
members, each contributing unique expertise and perspectives to the alliance.
Recognizing the necessity of unity and synergy, AZWI members emphasize the
importance of complementing one another’s efforts and leveraging collective
resources towards shared goals.
Despite early challenges and occasional conflicts, AZWI has established
foundational principles, governance structures, and conflict resolution
mechanisms to sustain its collective efforts. Through annual meetings,
prioritization of key issues, and a dedicated secretariat, the alliance
continues to strategize and adapt to evolving circumstances.
Key learnings from AZWI’s alliance-building journey underscore the significance
of relationship-building, resource allocation, capacity-building for smaller
organizations, and a commitment to continuous learning and adaptation. By
fostering an atmosphere of trust, cooperation, and mutual respect, AZWI strives
to realize its vision of a zero waste Indonesia.
In conclusion, AZWI exemplifies the transformative power of collective action in
addressing complex environmental challenges, offering valuable insights for
alliance-building initiatives worldwide.
