BANGKOK — Negotiators face a tough grind next week to agree on the world's first treaty aimed at ending the problem.Countries will have a week in South Korea's Busan from Monday to round off two years of negotiations.They remain deeply divided on whether the deal should limit plastic production and certain chemicals, and even if the treaty should be adopted by majority vote or consensus.
On the other side are countries, largely oil producers like Saudi Arabia and Russia, that want a downstream focus on waste alone.The HAC wants binding global targets on reducing production and warned ahead of the Busan talks that 'vested interests' should not be allowed to hamper a deal.The divisions have stymied four previous rounds of talks, producing an unwieldy document of over 70 pages.
