In the early hours of Tuesday in Canada, the penultimate round of negotiations for a global plastic treaty concluded, with the volume of plastic production worldwide taking center stage.

The discussions are part of ongoing efforts to finalize a comprehensive agreement aimed at addressing the plastic pollution crisis.

The goal is for this global plastic pact to be fully negotiated by the end of the year in South Korea, marking a significant step towards international collaboration in reducing plastic waste.

This treaty could potentially transform how plastics are produced, used, and recycled globally, offering a unified approach to mitigating one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time.
