Shadow Environment Minister Jonathon Duniam discusses strategies to reduce plastic waste. Leaders from around the world are hoping to seal a landmark deal to cut the use of plastics, with the talks for a first global treaty being held in Canada. “We’ve got to be innovative though,” Mr Duniam told Sky News Australia. “We need to find an alternative, no doubt. “We have a number of jurisdictions phasing out single-use plastic; that’s not an unwise thing, as long as it’s done in a coordinated way.” “Paper is that renewable biodegradable, alternative, and that’s the one I back”.
