UN Urges Southeast Asian Countries to Get Tough on Plastic Pollution
Southeast Asian countries, among the world’s worst ocean polluters, need tougher regulations for plastic packaging to curb leakage, a UN report said on Wednesday.
Southeast Asia is a major contributor to land-based plastic waste leaking into the world’s oceans, with more than half of it coming from four nations—Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam and Thailand—along with China, the top single polluter.
