What you'll learn on this PMM Insight podcast episode, a commentary by Editor Ron Shinn:
After more than two years of negotiating, talks for a worldwide treaty to end plastic pollution collapsed.
There has been a great deal of innovation built on and because of the advances made in plastics. The industry needs to keep pushing the limits and capabilities of the material.
What next? Countries should develop their own national action plans and not wait on a treaty.
