With an annual production of over 400 million metric tonnes, plastic pollution has been increasing at an alarming rate worldwide. Only by employing a diversified strategy could the enormous obstacle be overcome. It is crucial to combine downstream solutions, like promoting cutting-edge recycling technologies, with upstream solutions, like drastically reducing the manufacturing of plastic.

To guarantee that more plastic is collected for recycling, it is crucial to integrate cutting-edge recycling technologies, such as molecular recycling, with conventional mechanical recycling methods. Since just 9% of the world's plastic garbage is now recycled, there is a great deal of room for creative solutions. In order to discover new markets for recycled content, cooperation among various stakeholders is necessary.

The proposed Global Plastics Treaty is an honest attempt to align global efforts and crate a comprehensive strategy for addressing plastic pollution.
