Some industry responses pointed to fault lines on what are likely to be the most contentious issues at the United Nations treaty talks beginning next week.

With just a week before negotiations begin on a global treaty on plastic waste, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has released its National Strategy to Prevent Plastic Pollution, which the agency said aligns with the goal of 'an ambitious international agreement.'The EPA strategy released Thursday calls for improved measurement of the harm from plastic waste and an extended producer responsibility, or EPR, framework.

Pérez noted that some of the EPA proposals, such as EPRs, are already gaining traction in some states.The Solid Waste Association of North America represents some 10,000 public and private sector professionals in solid waste management from Canada to the Caribbean. Its statement on the EPA strategy emphasized the global reach of plastics and the need for international action.
