29 Apr 2022 --- A global cap on plastic production must be enforced to end pollution and human health damage, according to an international group of experts. In a letter to the research journal Science, the group says no other measures will be sufficient to deal with the growing threat of plastic waste leaking into the environment and our food systems. Phasing out the production of new plastics from fresh feedstocks should be part of a systemic solution to end plastic pollution, the experts from Canada, Germany, India, Norway, Sweden, Turkey, the UK and the US argue.
