We must be united. "The new plastics economics global commitments" is a big step in the right direction, which enables enterprises and governments to ally on the same agenda.

We need to go upstream and trace the source.

The new plastics economics global commitment book has "draw a line in the sand" for us, and the enterprises, governments and agencies around the world are united in the clear vision of creating a recycling economy.

Erik Solheim, executive director of the United Nations Environment Programme, said: "marine plastic pollution is the most obvious and worrying thing in the plastic pollution crisis.

The new plastics economics global undertaking lists the steps that businesses and governments must take to find solutions to the root causes of plastic pollution. We will urge all parties concerned to solve this global problem to sign the undertaking.
