| local.description | Single-use plastics have been a detriment to the environment for a long time and the Philippines is one of the countries with the highest share of plastic waste that is deemed mismanaged. According to a 2020 study, only 40 percent of packaging waste in the Philippines is collected, and only nine percent of the plastic waste is recycled at the national level. As waste management continues to struggle in the country, other efforts to reduce plastic waste must be done to prevent plastics from reaching landfills, beaches, and the oceans. To reduce plastic footprint, a more radical change can be made when corporations and consumers work together to refuse single-use plastic. | en |
