News / #Global Plastics Treaty
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.
The shift from a global approach to national programmes means reducing plastics at source becomes optional, and presents new challenges for China.
