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.
