The complexity and scale of the sources, types and environmental impacts of persistent solid waste pollution (PSWP) continue to overwhelm the capabilities of government and private efforts to control it. Global cumulative production of virgin plastics is expected to quadruple by 2050 with a concomitant doubling of plastic waste. All nations must take significant steps to realize eventual mitigation of PSWP. These will include adopting a long-term PSWP elimination policy, creating an overarching authority to lead and coordinate a comprehensive national solid waste management program, and creating an International Convention for the Prevention of PSWP to enable global solutions for this global pollution. Initiating these changes will necessitate major, coordinated efforts on the part of environmental organizations, their supporting foundations and concerned citizens.
持久性固体废物污染（PSWP）的来源、类型和环境影响的复杂性和规模继续超出政府和私人控制努力的能力。预计到 2050 年，原始塑料的全球累计产量将增加两倍，塑料废物也将增加一倍。所有国家都必须采取重大步骤，最终实现减少 PSWP。这将包括采取长期的 PSWP 消除政策，建立一个领导和协调全面国家固体废物管理计划的总体权威机构，并制定一项《预防 PSWP 国际公约》，为这一全球性污染提供全球性解决方案。启动这些变革将需要环境组织、其支持基金会和有关公民的重大协调努力。
