On Wednesday, June 26, at 10:00am, the Solid Waste Management Programme in Barbados will launch a National Action Plan to End Plastics Pollution in Barbados by 73 per cent, over the next 10 years.
According to Loop News, the National Action Plan to End Plastics Pollution is predicted to reduce some 4,713 tons of plastics waste from entering into the land and sea, which is a major undertaking for Barbados, as a small island developing state.
Plastics represent one of the most stubborn, persistent, and environmentally harmful category of waste in the world.
As a result of this, the tackling of plastics will be incorporated into the existing framework of the Integrated Solid Waste Management Policy, which adopts a holistic approach to solid waste and plastics management.
