Summary: | The United States is a major producer of plastics and in 2016, generated more plastic waste by weight and per capita than any other nation. Reckoning with the U.S. Role in Global Ocean Plastic Waste calls for a national strategy by the end of 2022 to reduce the nation's contribution to global ocean plastic waste at every step - from production to its entry into the environment - including by substantially reducing U.S. solid waste generation.
