| dc.description | Despite the known environmental and human health harms of plastics, the Pacific Islands are under tremendous pressure to continue to import plastic products, to meet the high consumption expectations of tourists, and to manufacture plastics domestically. Current legal and policy frameworks in the region either exclude or include limited trade-related provisions, production, manufacturing, importation, packaging, and end-of-life standards, and technical regulations for plastics, persistent organic pollutants, and chemical additives. | en_US |
