of polymer production, relying on the measures under consideration at the INC, to reveal the implications on The findings in this report underscore the essential role The zero drafts made available for the third and Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), aims to bring that polymer production, waste generation and greenhouse of measures on polymer production in the ILBI. [...] or targets may be set in the ILBI to deliver on the While all plastic polymers should be within the scope of Leaving any exceptions aside, taken together, estimates collective global ambition: the ILBI and tracked, the initial coverage of the control of total market share by weight of the dirty quartet range measures is still unclear. [...] Here, whereby eliminating substances (ODS) and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are to human health and the environment.26 the production of polymers of concern reduces the globally agreed and set out in the text. [...] Figure 1: Global plastic polymer production - business as usual scenarios End-of-life fate The modelled scenarios are illustrative of potential Freeze scenario approaches to reduce polymer production to sustainable In order to calculate the end-of-life fate of plastics in levels – the combination of policies available to each scenario, OECD data was used to calculate the The freeze scenario assume. [...] Compared to BAU, 18 per cent of the total remaining carbon budget with this eliminates the need to manage approximately In the medium F+E+L scenario, the production of the four this eliminates the need to manage approximately a 50 per cent chance of keeping warming below 1.5°C.
