| Title | Trends in Addressing Plastic Pollution in the Philippines |
| Author(s) | Edgar de Jesus |
| Description | The Philippines faces a severe plastic pollution problem, generating over 36% of ocean-bound waste. Key legislative measures like RA 9003 and local SUP bans have been implemented, yet challenges remain. Emerging trends include waste-to-energy (WTE) technologies, microplastic studies, and community-led cash-for-trash programs. By addressing illegal waste imports and fostering multistakeholder partnerships, the country can strengthen its efforts toward sustainable waste management and reducing environmental harm. |
