Preventing Plastic Pollution with a Global Plastic Treaty and Public-Private Partnership for the Climate journal article

Sarah Maria Denta

European Procurement & Public Private Partnership Law Review, Volume 17 (2022), Issue 4, Page 211 - 220

Reducing the use of plastic is essential because plastic production involves an enormous use of energy and resources, which results in a high amount of carbon emissions that contribute to global warming. This article focuses on regulations concerning plastic, particularly, the coming global Plastic Treaty, which the UN is expected to adopt in 2024. The article argues that regulation will not be enough to solve the issue of plastic pollution; innovative and alternative solutions are necessary. The article further suggests public-private partnerships for the climate as a way of supporting the coming Plastic Treaty. Keywords: Global Plastic Treaty; plastic pollution; public-private partnerships for the climate; Resolution End Plastic Pollution; United Nation’s sustainable development goal; United Nations Environment Assembly

Sustainable Development and Smart Technological Innovation within the Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs): the Strategic Use of Public Procurement journal article

Marco Ceruti

European Procurement & Public Private Partnership Law Review, Volume 12 (2017), Issue 2, Page 183 - 191

It is interesting to note the progressive strategic value assumed by public procurement contracts, which, given the huge amount of demand they convey, can exert a great influence on the supply side. The claims of cost-effectiveness and efficiency of the single market have gradually had to acknowledge the inclusion of social and environmental issues in the awarding procedures of public contracts in order to adapt to sustainable development and smart technological innovation. The Public-Private Partnership (PPP) is suitable for such an operation adopting the philosophy of maximum flexibility and learning-by-doing, in an environment of public-private collaboration which may go as far as to encompass the population. Keywords: Sustainable Procurement and PPP; Innovation; Environment; Risk Allocation.
