23 Feb 2022 --- Roughly 75% of global consumers want to see a ban on single-use plastic items, according to a new survey published by WWF. The findings come days before the UN is set to convene for its Environment Assembly (UNEA) 5.2, in which global leaders will discuss a possible international treaty against plastic pollution. WWF’s report, which uses survey research from Ipsos, found that Latin American and BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) countries show the highest levels of agreement with banning single-use plastic, at 88% and 80%, respectively. In comparison, North America has the lowest levels of agreement at 61%.
