Delegates from nearly 200 nations debated for a week in South Korea on how to stop millions of tonnes of plastic waste from entering the environment each year .

The talks were meant to end with the world's first accord on cutting plastic pollution after nearly two years of discussions.

Delegations seeking an ambitious treaty earlier warned that a handful of countries was steadfastly blocking progress.

The world's top two plastic producers -- China and the United States -- have stayed relatively quiet about their positions in public.
