India to pitch for consensus based decision making for a global treaty to end plastic pollution

The treaty is vital as currently more than 460 million metric tonne of plastic is produced globally every year, of which an estimated 20 million tonne ends up polluting the environment by affecting land, freshwater and marine habitats. The situation will gradually become more serious as global plastic waste is expected to reach 1.7 billion metric tonne by 2060.
