I would like to recall decision MC-5/6 adopted at the fifth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Minamata Convention on Mercury. In this decision Parties and relevant organizations were invited to submit, by 31 March 2025, on a voluntary basis, information on technically and economically feasible alternatives to the use of mercury and mercury compounds in vinyl chloride monomer production, in accordance with Paragraph 8 of Article 5 and Paragraph 1 of Article 17 of the Convention.
