The Global Plastics Treaty, still under negotiation as of December 2024, aims to become a legally binding agreement to tackle plastic pollution by addressing the full lifecycle of plastics, including production, use, and disposal. The treaty’s key commitments include phasing out harmful plastics, promoting recycling, and ensuring that producers are responsible for the environmental impact of their products through extended producer responsibility. Successful implementation will require coordinated global efforts, robust monitoring systems, and financial support for developing nations to transition to more sustainable plastic alternatives.
