<abstract displayLabel="Summary">The paper offers an overview of the challenges to developing a circular global plastics economy and trade policy areas that could help tackle the growing issue of plastic pollution. The content is a preliminary assessment, with further research and the trade policy areas suggested meriting further discussion. Every year, the world produces more than 400 million tonnes of plastics, much of which is mismanaged after use, causing untold damage to the environment and societies. The paper acknowledges the importance of addressing this issue across the plastics value chain and taking a holistic approach based on the three Rs  reduce, reuse and recycle.</abstract>
