Less than 10% of plastic waste generated globally is recycled, while plastic pollution can remain in the environment for centuries.

A strong and effective plastics treaty across the full lifecycle of plastics is critical to reducing pollution, advancing circular economy solutions and accelerating climate and environmental action.
