Plastic pollution is a global crisis, especially in the marine environment. Excessive consumption and unsound disposal are responsible for the constant accumulation of plastic waste, resulting in plastic litter and microplastic contamination on a global scale. Establishing a new global framework is regarded as a promising tool to address plastic pollution, including marine plastic litter. However, there is a need to raise awareness of the role of consumers at individual and national levels in reducing the use of unnecessary plastics and increasing the recycling of plastic waste. The global framework should incorporate aspects of the importance of consumption responsibility in solutions addressing the issue of plastic pollution.
塑料污染是一个全球性危机，特别是在海洋环境中。过度消费和处理不当导致塑料垃圾不断积累，从而在全球范围内造成塑料垃圾和微塑料污染。建立一个新的全球框架被认为是解决塑料污染问题的一个有前途的工具，包括海洋塑料垃圾。然而，需要提高个人和国家层面消费者的意识，减少不必要塑料的使用，增加塑料废物的回收利用。全球框架应纳入消费责任在解决塑料污染问题的解决方案中的重要性方面。
