Global plastic production must be cut to curb pollution, study says
Briefly

"Annual greenhouse gas emissions from the plastic system will increase by 37% by 2050 unless restrictions on plastic production are implemented. Mismanaged plastic waste is set to double to 121 million tonnes, highlighting the urgent need for a globally binding treaty to tackle this issue effectively."
"Combining measures like a global cap on plastic production, investing in waste infrastructure, and implementing a recycling mandate could reduce mismanaged plastic waste by up to 91% by 2050, and decrease plastics-related emissions by about a third. These interventions are crucial for the treaty discussions on November 25."
