News / #Global Plastics Treaty
Disputes over voting rules have allowed a small group of countries to block ambition – stalling a global treaty to curb plastic production and pollution.
Plastic waste will soar to unprecedented levels without action, as UN plastics treaty remains elusive.
The island in the Central Visayas region shows that zero waste strategies can work, but experts warn its success won’t last without caps on plastic production.
Comments made by materials scientist Chris DeArmitt that plastics are not toxic and their impact on ecosystems has been overstated became the centre of debate at the ReThink sustainability conference. An NGO appealed to DeArmitt's audience to carefully review the science.
