They are cheap and have in many different ways improved livelihoods around the world, but the pollution caused by their waste is now impossible to ignore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Global plastic production has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/282732\/global-production-of-plastics-since-1950\/\">increased<\/a> from under 2 million tonnes in 1950 to nearly 400 million tonnes today. But <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oecd.org\/environment\/plastic-pollution-is-growing-relentlessly-as-waste-management-and-recycling-fall-short.htm\">less than 10%<\/a> of plastic products are recycled, with vast quantities of waste ending up in landfill, incinerators or leaking into the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldwildlife.org\/press-releases\/wwf-calls-for-a-global-ban-on-harmful-and-unnecessary-single-use-plastic-items-such-as-vapes-cutlery-and-cosmetic-microplastics-ahead-of-key-un-plastic-pollution-treaty-talks\">report<\/a> published in May by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), about half of all plastic is used for short-lived or single-use products, most of which are consumed in high and upper-middle income countries, and which take hundreds of years to degrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf we don\u2019t take action right now, the situation is only going to get worse,\u201d said Marco Lambertini, WWF Special Envoy, on the report\u2019s release. \u201cOn our current trajectory, by 2040 global plastic production will double, plastic leakage into our oceans will triple and the total volume of plastic pollution in our oceans will quadruple. We cannot allow this to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a class=\"wp-block-cd-related-news alignright block--related-news loading\" data-post-id=\"50051824\"><div class=\"block--related-news__image\"><\/div><div class=\"block--related-news__content\"><span class=\"block--related-news__heading\">Recommended<\/span><span class=\"block--related-news__title\"><\/span><\/div><\/a>\n\n\n\n<p>Amid plastic\u2019s proliferation, there are growing concerns not just for the health of the environment, but for humans too. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2022\/03\/220324130253.htm\">study<\/a> from the Medical University of Vienna found that humans may be ingesting an average of 5 grams of microplastics per week \u2013 roughly the weight of a credit card \u2013 through food, air and water, causing adverse health conditions with long-term impacts that are still unknown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the scale of this international problem, the upcoming plastic treaty has faced scrutiny from a number of observers who worry that it will lack the sufficient scope, ambition and stringent measures to tackle its various aspects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A new <a href=\"https:\/\/circulareconomy.earth\/publications\/why-lifecycle-solutions-are-needed-to-tackle-marine-plastic-pollution\">paper<\/a> by Chatham House and Global Water Partnership contends that while the plastics treaty will serve as a crucial tool for enhancing global plastic governance, a \u201cParis Agreement-style\u201d international arrangement may fail to deliver, based on the lessons learned from climate negotiations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe treaty may not be able to address all the problems of plastic pollution, in which case the hard lifting will still need to be done by national governments,\u201d said Niamh Brannigan, Global Water Partnership\u2019s head of communications. She said its potential impact could be limited by, among other factors, a lack of reliable data on plastic pollution, as well as a \u201cmisalignment\u201d of economic priorities and infrastructure in different countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elsewhere, many observers have voiced concern over a focus on the recycling of plastics and waste management, rather than confronting ever-increasing production and promoting a reduction in use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cd-pull-quote block--pull-quote\"><div class=\"block--pull-quote__wrapper\"><blockquote class=\"block--pull-quote__quote\">The treaty may not be able to address all the problems of plastic pollution<\/blockquote><cite class=\"block--pull-quote__cite\">Niamh Brannigan, Global Water Partnership<\/cite><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In a 2021 <a href=\"https:\/\/sdg.iisd.org\/news\/virgin-plastic-production-must-be-addressed-in-pollution-treaty-expert-brief\/\">paper<\/a>, Tallash Kantai, a researcher at the Strathclyde Centre for Environmental Law and Governance at the University of Strathclyde, said that addressing plastic only when it becomes waste, and relying on recycling as a silver bullet, \u201ccould leave the world in a never-ending waste cycle\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Latin American countries, there has been a significant presence and role in the treaty discussions so far, led by Peruvian economist Gustavo Meza-Cuadra, who has served as chair for the INC on plastic pollution during its first two sessions. After the November meeting in Nairobi, the chairmanship is reportedly set to pass to Luis Vayas, Ecuador\u2019s deputy foreign minister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The treaty is expected to be signed while a Latin American or Caribbean country chairs the INC, according to Gonzalo Mu\u00f1oz, a Chilean businessman and member of the INC secretariat, who has been a representative for Latin America during negotiations. He said this highlights the central position the region has played in the treaty\u2019s process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere are countries that stand out for their presence in voice, in leadership in this matter,\u201d said Mu\u00f1oz. \u201cChile, Ecuador, and Colombia have historically had a level of progress in these matters.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After
