The Greenpeace International activists are demanding that negotiators at nearby Busan UN Plastics Treaty talks do not buckle under fossil fuel and petrochemical industry pressure &#8211; and agree to a treaty that clearly cuts plastic production.<\/p>\n\n<p>Graham Forbes, Greenpeace Head of Delegation to the Global Plastics Treaty negotiations and Global Plastics Campaign Lead at Greenpeace USA says,\u00a0\u201cWe hope that the courage shown by these activists, who endured freezing overnight temperatures in order to state loud and clear that this treaty fails unless it cuts plastic production will act as an inspiration<strong> <\/strong>to delegates. And that in these final negotiating hours they will step up, resist petrochemical industry bullying, and deliver for us all an historic Global Plastics Treaty that cuts production and ultimately ends plastic pollution\u201d.<\/p>\n\n<p>He continued, \u201cWe urge the South Korean authorities to release the activists immediately.&nbsp; These activists are standing with thousands of Korean citizens and millions more around the world who are demanding a historic treaty in Busan. Their voices must be heard\u201d.<\/p>\n\n<p>The international activists, equipped with protective safety gear, launched from the Greenpeace flagship Rainbow Warrior on RHIBs (rigid-hulled inflatable boats), boarded the tanker Buena Alba at 9.30am and set up on the tanker\u2019s mast.. Other activists painted the words \u201cPlastic kills\u201d onto the side of the tanker with washable paint.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>The 96 meters long Buena Alba was scheduled to load propylene made from fossil fuels, a key ingredient in plastic production from the Total Energies Hanwha facility, which is located in South Korea\u2019s Daesan Petrochemical Complex. (3).<\/p>\n\n<p>The Global Plastics Treaty negotiations are expected to conclude on December 1 local time.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<section\n\t\t\tclass=\"boxout post-50887  sticky-bottom-mobile collapse
