Background |
|
Over the last decades, Cambodia has experienced rapid growth in its population and economy, which led to the surge in plastic waste. In Phnom Penh, plastic waste now amounts to more than 20% of the total volume of municipal waste (3,600 tons) generated per day, adding immense pressure on waste management and the natural environment.
Plastic waste pollution is highly damaging in terms of environmental, economic, and public health impacts. In urban areas, illegally dumped plastic waste blocks waterways clogs sewage and drainage systems and elevates flood risks. In areas without waste collection services, plastic waste is often burned in the open or disposed of on streets, or into local waterways, which carry it to the sea. The burning of plastics releases harmful chemicals which pose risk to public health. In coastal areas, the impact of plastic waste on the tourism industry is particularly significant. Plastic waste (e.g. cigarettes, plastic food wrappers, and bags) makes up 80% of the debris found on its beaches (FFI 2020), deteriorating coastal areas’ natural environment, marine ecosystems, and scenery.
According to the MoE (2015), out of the 4 million tons of solid waste generated, 63 % is collected while 29 % is illegally dumped or burned. Around 8 % is collected informally by informal waste pickers who gather the waste from landfills or streets and sell recovered valuables to intermediary persons, usually exported to Thailand or Vietnam for recycling (recently, these countries announced that they would soon ban plastic waste imports). At present, less than 1 % of plastic waste is formally recycled due to limited infrastructure, technology, or finances. Thus, there is an urgent need to reduce the volume of plastic waste and to create an environment where waste is properly managed, recycled, and recovered.
Tackling plastic waste requires systematic changes covering the entire lifecycle of plastic from import to production, use, disposal, and recycling. Cambodia is not a major producer of plastic products and most plastic items are imported. One of the priorities is therefore to regulate the import and sales of single-use plastic. Major industries using single-use plastic like plastic bottles need to create product designs that are easily recyclable and actively support recycling, for example through an Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) scheme. Businesses and people need to significantly cut down the use of single-use plastic and adopt sustainable alternatives. Moreover, plastic waste needs to be sorted from other waste to enable reuse, recycling, or energy recovery.
To this end, since 2018, the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) has promoted the 4Rs – Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle – a framework to prevent and minimize plastic waste pollution on land and in the ocean.
Thus far, as part of regulatory measures, in 2018, the Ministry of Environment (MoE) developed sub-decree 168 to introduce a levy on plastic bags. The MoE is currently drafting a new regulation on plastic management, covering the entire life cycle of all types of plastic. The MoE is also considering the introduction of favorable measures for plastic recycling. Moreover, the National Council for Sustainable Development (NCSD) also plans to propose an EPR scheme for Cambodia to promote the effective collection and recycling of plastic waste.
