The Circular Economy
From ambition to action: we need a legally-binding treaty on plastic pollution

Plastic pollution worsens daily, with millions of tonnes entering our environment due to a "take-make-waste" economy. This harms nature, depletes resources, fuels climate and biodiversity crises, and wastes billions in valuable materials.

While companies have made voluntary efforts like reducing virgin plastic and piloting reuse, these actions lack the necessary scale. Plastic pollution is a global challenge, transcending borders, and requires a coordinated, globally aligned response.

We must urgently translate ambition into action. A legally-binding UN treaty on plastic pollution offers a permanent solution. This episode explores its potential, featuring insights from Eirik Lindebjerg (WWF) and Rolando Castro Cordoba (Costa Rica, MINAE).

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation & WWF call for UN treaty on plastic pollution

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation and WWF advocate for a legally-binding UN treaty to address the entire plastics lifecycle. This call is supported by over 2 million people, 700+ civil society groups, 70+ global companies, and more than three-quarters of UN member countries.

The escalating global plastic pollution crisis demands a coordinated, worldwide response, as voluntary measures are insufficient. World leaders have a critical opportunity in February at the United Nations Environmental Assembly (UNEA) to begin negotiations for this vital treaty. Governments must act now.
