The source argues that plastic pollution is on track to more than double within 15 years absent systemic change, with rising health, fiscal, and climate impacts and disproportionate burdens on SIDS and vulnerable communities. It highlights the Geneva INC chair election as a key process moment and points to Pew’s 2025 assessment advocating lifecycle measures—from production and design to reuse, waste management, and supply-chain transparency.
The January 2026 Binaliw landfill collapse in Cebu City, which the source reports killed 36 people, highlights how waste sites have become mixed-use zones where poverty, informal labor, and industrial hazards converge. The incident is driving scrutiny of enforcement timing, landfill engineering limits, and whether current policy tools emphasize recovery over upstream waste reduction.
