New draft of global plastic pollution treaty would not limit plastic production
The Associated PressAUG 2025
This watered-down draft is a complete betrayal that surrenders to fossil fuel interests and ensures nothing will change in the fight against plastic pollution. Without production caps and chemical restrictions, the treaty becomes meaningless as recycling alone cannot solve a crisis where microplastics contaminate our blood and lungs. The text makes a mockery of three years of negotiations and condemns future generations to escalating environmental disaster.
