Beat Plastic Pollution

Beat Plastic Pollution

RA 9003 or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act, was a landmark law, enacted in 2001.  Sadly, after more than 20 years, according to Our World in Data, the Philippines produces over 1/3 of all oceanic plastic waste in the world.  Plastics do not only impact our environment but also our health, livelihoods, food and wildlife.

The Philippine Government recently passed the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Law while a Plastic Treaty is being crafted globally to address plastic pollution.
