Negotiations on a treaty to end plastic pollution are drawing to a close as nations continue debating whether part of that should be putting limits on plastic production.

BUSAN, South Korea (Reuters) -Negotiators on a treaty to curb plastic pollution face tough debate on the last day of scheduled talks, as over 100 countries support curbing production while a handful of oil-producing countries want to focus only on plastic waste.
