The Bridge to Busan is a political declaration to raise ambition on addressing primary plastic polymers. It aims to achieve the goal of ending plastic pollution in the context of the plastic pollution treaty, currently being negotiated by the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee. As a founding member of the High Ambition Coalition to End Plastic Pollution, the United Kingdom is calling for binding provisions in the treaty to restrain and reduce the production and consumption of primary plastic polymers to sustainable levels.
