The Circulate Initiative flags supply chain insecurities in Asia’s plastic waste management
The Circulate Initiative has published a report mapping the plastic recycling supply chain and infrastructure in four Asian countries – India, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam – to better understand localized plastic waste mangement systems and identify where interventions can be made.
The research undertakes a detailed assessment of “wastesheds,” which the report defines as a geographical region with a common solid waste disposal system or an area designated by the governing institutions as appropriate for developing a common recycling program in each country.
