with the high ambition nations seeking strong standards and accountability to diminish the damaging effects of plastics throughout the plastics life cycle.&nbsp; This requires rejecting the State Department\u2019s current self-imposed constraints, including their insistence on a consensus agreement that results in voluntary non-binding goals, and their refusal to consider measures beyond current U.S. law.&nbsp; An effective international agreement cannot be achieved through nebulous promises or pledges.&nbsp; We need strong, internationally binding agreements with accountability mechanisms in place, and we hope the American negotiators will keep all of that in mind as negotiations continue,\u201d <strong>said the lawmakers in a joint statement.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>About 450,000,000 tons of plastic are produced every year, a number that is projected to triple by 2050.&nbsp; The U.S. recycling rate stands at a dismal 9 percent, and less than 10 percent of all plastic waste generated globally has ever been recycled.&nbsp; Research shows humans swallow the amount of plastic in the typical credit card every
