Plastic is everywhere: in our oceans, food chain and even in our own bodies. It is both a panacea and a growing curse. Globally, we produce tens of millions of tonnes of plastic every year, much of which ends up in our environment as microplastics.
UN agreement against pollution
While a UN agreement against plastic pollution is being negotiated in South Korea this week, studies show that addressing this crisis is only possible by limiting plastic production. Yet that production, supported by big oil and gas companies, continues to grow unabated.
Increasing urgency
The urgency is great. As a recent article in NRC highlights, the overproduction of plastic is not only leading to an increase in plastics in the oceans, but also to serious threats to humans, animals and the environment. Without drastic changes, we risk a future where recycling alone is not enough to stop pollution.
