Raising awareness about the impacts of uncontrolled plastic waste is important in addressing an impending crisis brought about by the massive build-up of accumulated plastic, Deputy Speaker and Las Pinas Rep. Camille Villar said Wednesday.

In doing so, a coordinated multisectoral approach is needed in order to instill ways to further reduce plastic consumption, improve waste collection and segregation and increase rates of reusing plastic.

“It really requires the collaboration and participation of all sectors—young and old, government and private,” she said. Also, in order for small enterprises to adopt green initiatives, Villar said “we have to keep it simple, we need to really inform the small and micro entrepreneurs about the effect of plastic use” and that incentives must be given to encourage small firms to go toward this path.

Villar also shared that in Las Pinas, they practice composting and waste segregation and they have a facility that converts discarded plastic into school chairs.
