Regional Plastics Outlook for Southeast and East Asia

By OECD

Countries around the world are increasingly taking action to end plastic pollution. Southeast and East Asia is uniquely positioned to tackle this issue, as it accounts for nearly one-third of global GDP and plays an important role in plastics value chains. It has also become a hotspot for plastic pollution, having experienced escalating levels of waste generation and insufficient, albeit accelerating, improvements in waste management in recent decades. These trends underscore the need for additional, ambitious policies.
