The United Nations Environment Assembly is moving ahead with a legally binding treaty on plastic pollution, which it calls the “most significant environmental deal since [the] Paris” climate agreement. In Plastics in Politics Live, Steve Toloken talks about why both environmentalists and industry found things they like about the deal, what’s ahead and how a treaty may impact the global plastics industry.
We also cover the news that a California state agency has adopted a first-in-the-U.S. microplastics reduction strategy; plus a status report on progress that brand owners are making toward the voluntary goals in the U.S. Plastics Pact.
