Where Plastic Pollution Really Begins

'Plastic pollution really begins when we're making plastics and extracting oil, gas from the ground'

Geneva, 16 August..... World leaders and negotiators gathered to resume critical talks on a Global Plastics Treaty — aiming to cut single-use plastics, boost recycling, and move toward a circular economy. With projections showing global plastic waste could reach 1.7 billion tons by 2060, the urgency has never been greater. The treaty aims to create binding international commitments to curb plastic production, reduce waste, and accelerate a transition towards a circular economy.♻️ Key issues under discussion include:

• Reducing single-use plastics

• Improving recycling and waste management systems

• Supporting innovation in sustainable materials

• Ensuring fair responsibility across nations

The outcomes of these talks will shape how governments, businesses, and communities tackle plastic pollution for decades to come.

Big decisions ahead. The world is watching. 👀What are your thoughts? Should the treaty focus more on reducing plastic production at the source, or on scaling waste management and recycling solutions?
