A leading expert in the health impacts of plastic pollution and microplastics is calling on the UN to end the use of toxic chemicals in all plastics, cap and reduce plastic production and argues against a treaty focused on waste management and recycling, as part of an international Plastics Treaty.

Much of this pollution is linked to plastic production, use and disposal, and disproportionately affects low- and middle-income countries.

Alarmingly, plastic production is predicted to grow 300% by 2060.
