17 Mar 2022 --- A tide of litigation against plastic producers is expected following the UN’s historic agreement to establish a legally-binding treaty on plastic pollution in Nairobi, Kenya, earlier this month. Negotiations on the treaty’s terms are now underway after the announcement was made at the UN Environment Assembly 5.2. Signatories unanimously agreed to a mandate tackling the full life cycle of plastics, from production to end-of-life, instead of a more constricted treaty originally proposed by Japan.
