The Business of Plastics: The Impacts of Plastics Pollution on Human Rights in the Pacific Region - Factsheet 5

Description:
Despite the known environmental and human health harm of plastics, the Pacific Islands are under tremendous pressure to continue to import plastic products, to meet the high consumption expectations of tourists, and to manufacture plastics domestically. Current legal and policy frameworks in the region either exclude or include limited trade-related provisions, production, manufacturing, importation, packaging and end-of-life standards, and technical regulations for plastics, persistent organic pollutants and chemical activities.
