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).
