23 Sep 2022 --- Global businesses across the plastics value chain, financial institutions, and NGOs have announced a shared vision for a global treaty to end plastic pollution. The “Business Coalition” aims to build on previous efforts to act in favor of starting intergovernmental negotiations. The treaty negotiation process, expected to conclude at the end of 2024, will largely determine the trajectory of the plastic pollution crisis for generations to come. Some organizations like Greenpeace are voicing skepticism toward the upcoming negotiations and demand a “strong” global plastics treaty that matches the scale of the plastic crisis.
