The Biden administration announced this week that US negotiators will support limits on plastic production as part of the United Nations' global plastics treaty.
It represents a major shift for the United States , which had previously rejected limits in favor of an approach focused on boosting the recycling rate and cleaning up plastic litter.
Industry groups condemned the decision as "misguided," but environmental groups said it could sway momentum in favor.
The final round of plastics treaty negotiations are scheduled to begin in late November in South Korea .
Environmental advocates say they're eager to see how the US ’s new position will translate into advocacy.
They’re calling for the US to sign onto the “Bridge to Busan ” declaration put forward by a group of countries last April .
