The Global Plastics Treaty presents an opportunity to “end plastic pollution”. Legacy plastics will continue to fragment to secondary microplastics for decades, without additional mitigation measures. We identify this flux as a “fragmentation gap”, currently overlooked in global policy targets.
《全球塑料条约》为“终结塑料污染”提供了契机。在没有额外缓解措施的情况下，遗留塑料在数十年内将持续破碎成次生微塑料。我们将这种通量识别为“破碎差距”，而这一差距目前在全球政策目标中被忽视。
