UN to discuss global plastic production treaty in November, aiming to address the waste crisis.

The UN will discuss a global treaty in November to limit plastic production, aiming to address the plastic waste crisis. The US supports this initiative, which could significantly impact material culture. Currently, only 9% of the 400 million metric tons of annual plastic is recycled. Experts advocate for a cap on production and the elimination of toxic additives. Civil society emphasizes the need for drastic reductions and sustainable practices to combat environmental harm from plastics.
