Southern Laos to Tackle Plastic Waste with Refill Not Landfill Campaign
The Refill not Landfill campaign hopes to solve the problem of single-use plastic waste in southern Laos.
It is estimated that more than 100 million disposable plastic water bottles are consumed by travelers to Laos each year. Most of them are not recycled, and in many parts of the country people simply burn them due to a lack of waste management systems.
Since this poses a threat not only to the environment but also to human health, many parts of Laos are striving to tackle the issue by reducing single-use plastic water bottles and raising awareness of the country’s plastic problem.
