In solidarity with our friends in the Philippines. We need to turn off the plastic tap, not find ways to convert plastic pollution to other types of pollution.

STOP blaming the people for the plastic that corporations dump on us. Switch off the tap.

163 million sachets a day and the government's answer is more incinerators — not less plastic. Enough excuses. READ ➡️ https://bit.ly/4wX32IP

Just one week after Philippine Customs acted on a Basel Action Network (BAN) alert to intercept three containers suspected of carrying e-waste illegally shipped from the U.S., the waste trade watchdog is now warning that 184 additional suspect containers are scheduled to arrive in Subic Bay between August 6 and September 30.

BAN and members of End E-Waste Imports, which includes BAN Toxics, GAIA Asia Pacific, BFFP Asia Pacific, Kalikasan People’s Network for the Environment, Greenpeace Philippines, and other civil society groups, are calling on the Philippine government to intercept, inspect, and prevent any confirmed illegal e-waste shipments from entering the country. The groups also emphasized the need for enforcement measures to prevent rejected shipments from simply being rerouted to another developing country.

"We commend the Bureau of Customs for promptly acting on the prior alert and preventing suspected illegal waste trafficking from the US to the Philippines,” said Jam Lorenzo, Deputy Executive Director of BAN Toxics, one of the convenors of the Task Force. “But that was three containers. BAN has now identified 184 more suspected containers, and the government must respond with the same urgency and resolve.”

Check out this webinar tomorrow about REUSE! If everyone reuse and generate less single-use waste, there'd be less unwanted trash to push around the world.

📢 JANGAN LEWATKAN! WEBINAR: Recommendations for Reuse in Southeast Asia

Bergabunglah bersama Perpetual, Global Plastics Policy Centre – University of Portsmouth, Dietplastik Indonesia dan Enviu Zero Waste by dalam webinar yang akan membahas hasil riset terbaru serta rekomendasi kebijakan untuk mempercepat penerapan sistem reuse dan refill di Asia Tenggara.

Dalam webinar ini, Rahyang Nusantara (Dietplastik Indonesia) bersama Dr. Dagny Tucker akan memaparkan temuan dari laporan Reuse Realized: Unleashing Solutions in the ASEAN Region. Laporan ini mengidentifikasi empat peluang berdampak tinggi untuk memperluas sistem guna ulang di kawasan ASEAN, yaitu:
- isi ulang minuman,
- stasiun isi ulang air minum,
- sistem isi ulang kebutuhan pokok, serta
- kemasan guna ulang untuk produk konsumsi sehari-hari (FMCG).

Selain itu, diskusi juga akan membahas dukungan kebijakan, skema pembiayaan, infrastruktur, dan kolaborasi yang diperlukan untuk mengatasi berbagai hambatan dalam memperluas penerapan sistem guna ulang.

Para peneliti dari Global Plastics Policy Centre juga akan mempresentasikan hasil kajian ilmiah Designing Effective Reuse Policy: Recommendations for Southeast Asia, yang menyoroti bagaimana kebijakan guna ulang yang dirancang dengan baik dapat membangun sistem reuse yang kuat, efektif, dan sesuai dengan konteks nasional maupun lokal.

Waste-to-energy incinerators should not be called clean, renewable, or low emission because they are as dirty, or even dirtier, than coal generators, a new report says.
