Faced with plastic pollution, expectations was large around the negotiations that were held this week in Geneva. The discussions were ultimately led to any international agreement on the reduction of plastic production. In almost fifty years, the consumption of the latter has multiplied by 100.

They are used in particular for plastic production, with the aim of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
