Circular Solutions for Plastic Pollution: Community-based Plastic Credit Solution – A Holistic Attempt to Make Coastlines Plastic-free
Description
Plastic waste contributes to 80 per cent of the litter found on Cambodia’s beaches and is significantly impacting marine ecosystems and local communities, which do not have a lasting solution to deal with the daily reality of increasing plastic waste. To address this, TONTOTON – a programme aimed at reducing ocean-bound plastic waste – created a certified plastic credit system that provides a community-based solution to involve and empower the informal waste sector and local communities (particularly in coastal areas) to manage and treat non-recyclable plastics.
