Single-use Plastic. A cheap convenience has rapidly become a global crisis.⁣
⁣
  1. Understand The problem of plastic waste⁣
  2. Plastic's health & environmental impacts⁣
  3. Solutions for reducing plastic pollution⁣

⁣The Global Plastics Treaty is a proposed legally binding UN instrument to end plastic pollution by addressing the full life cycle of plastics, from production to disposal. After a final round of negotiations in August 2025 (INC-5.2) concluded without a full agreement due to divisions on key issues like production caps versus waste management, future talks are needed to finalize the treaty. The treaty aims to establish common global standards, promote a circular economy, and implement measures like bans on problematic products, improved design, and extended producer responsibility.
