A landmark resolution was reached at the fifth United nations Environmental Assembly in March 2022 to develop an international legally binding instrument to end plastic pollution. Round four of the Global Plastics Treaty negotiations starts in Ottawa today, and by the end of 2024 the world can expect to see how this treaty will transform the way we produce, use and dispose of plastics. I mention it because we still use quite a bit of plastic in this sector and the greening-up journey has a long way to go. How far down the road are you?
