Talks on the world’s first treaty to end plastic pollution have stalled one day before the negotiations are due to end.

The main sticking point at the talks, now in their third year, has been whether to cap plastic production or to focus on issues such as better design, recycling and reuse.

But oil- and plastic-producing nations, including Saudi Arabia, Russia and Iran, the “like-minded group” which has reportedly been supported by the US as well as the chemical industry, reject production limits and instead want the treaty to focus on measures such as waste management and recycling.

So do it without them, and ban their plastic products from your countries! Make them international pariahs as they should be for trying to doom the world through their greedy shortsightedness.
