Title (original)
Stemming the Tide: Land-based strategies for a plastic- free ocean
Description
This report focus on the five countries that together account for between 55 and 60 percent of the total plastic-waste leakage (China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam); it describes an integrated set of measures (or levers) that together could reduce leakage in these five countries by 65 percent and reduce total global leakage by approximately 45 percent by 2025. This is the prerequisite for successfully ending plastic-waste leakage entirely by 2035. For each lever, the report specifies costs and plastic-waste-leakage reduction potential
