Plastic pollution is so ubiquitous that it has been found in clouds, the deepest ocean trenches and human breastmilk.

Almost everyone agrees it is a problem, but there is less consensus on how to solve it.

Among the most contentious issues are whether the treaty should cap plastic production, a possible ban on chemicals feared toxic to human health.

Key to any accord will be the United States and China , neither of which have openly sided with either bloc.
