The United Nations Environmental Assembly (UNEA) has committed to eradicating plastic pollution by approving a roadmap that will implement containment measures from the source. The agreement looks at tracking all plastics produced globally and their lifespan, thus enabling key players to play an active role in ending plastic pollution.

Apart from huge financing and monitoring for the eradication of plastics, UN members will develop a framework that will incentivise innovations for alternative packaging methods as a way of ensuring the reduction of plastic waste globally.  

The framework will also create room for conversation on the rules and regulations of designing plastics.

The UN Environmental Programme showed its commitment to the process of eradicating plastics by pre-planning a forum before the end of 2022 in collaboration with the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC) to lay down best practices and share the knowledge with the world around eradicating plastic pollution.
