The new UN treaty on plastic pollution: A possible solution to the global plastics problem

The new UN treaty on plastic pollution: A possible solution to the global plastics problem

By the end of this year, we may have international, legally binding rules on how to reduce plastic pollution, and not a moment too soon. This could be a game-changer in combatting global plastic pollution. The fifth, and potentially final, session is coming up in the Republic of Korea in November. We’re taking a look at why it matters, what’s next, how it’s key for soil plastics to be considered for the treaty to meet the Sustainable Development Goals.
