Perceptions on plastic waste: Insights, interventions and incentives to action from businesses and consumers in South-East Asia [1]

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and Food Industry Asia (FIA) released a regional survey of consumers and food and beverage businesses across South-East Asia that shows a significant disconnect between expectation and action on reducing plastic waste. The challenges of plastic pollution have only increased in the past few months, with the COVID-19 pandemic generating a surge in waste. The survey polled consumers and businesses in five countries that are estimated to be among the top 10 sources of plastic marine debris globally - Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam.
