Negotiations on Global Treaty , to End Plastic Pollution , Reach Critical Phase .<br/>'The Independent' reports that negotiators from around <br/>the world have met to discuss what could become <br/>a global treaty meant to end plastic pollution. .<br/>The Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee on <br/>Plastic Pollution has begun agreeing on treaty language <br/>at their fourth of five scheduled plastics summits.<br/>The most ambitious and contentious<br/>idea revolves around limiting how much <br/>plastic can be manufactured globally.<br/>As most plastics are made from fossil fuels <br/>and chemicals, oil and gas exporters <br/>have strongly objected to the limitations, along <br/>with plastic-producing countries and companies.<br/>According to Stewart Harris, an industry spokesperson <br/>with the International Council of Chemical Associations, <br/>the treaty also focuses on recycling and reuse. .<br/>We want to see the treaty <br/>completed. We want to work <br/>with the governments on <br/>implementing it. The private <br/>sector has a role to play,Stewart Harris, an industry spokesperson <br/>with the International Council of Chemical <br/>Associations, via 'The Independent'.<br/>'The Independent' reports that the Scientists’ <br/>Coalition for an Effective Plastics Treaty provided <br/>scientific evidence on plastic pollution at <br/>the negotiations.<br/>I heard yesterday that there’s <br/>no data on microplastics, <br/>which is verifiably false: <br/>21,000 publications on micro and <br/>nanoplastics have been published, Bethanie Carney Almroth, an ecotoxicology professor at Sweden's University of Gothenburg who co-leads the coalition, via 'The Independent'.<br/>Ecuador's chief negotiator, Walter Schuldt stressed that <br/>countries present at the negotiation share a common <br/>vision of moving forward in the treaty process.<br/>Because at the end of the day, <br/>we’re talking about the survival <br/>of the future of life, not only <br/>of human life but all sorts <br/>of life on this planet, Walter Schuldt, Ecuador's chief <br/>negotiator, via 'The Independent'
