30 Aug 2024 --- US Plastics Pact has released an updated report detailing its stance to eliminating problematic and unnecessary materials from the plastics value chain. New approaches to circular design challenges, like fighting contamination in recyclables, are highlighted, along with additional material bans for products such as oxodegradables. The report comes shortly after the US government shifted its position to support global production caps on plastic production, aligning with the “High Ambition Coalition” goals for a UN Plastic Treaty, which is set for a final round of negotiations in November.
