Quezon City-based environmental group EcoWaste Coalition expressed deep frustration over the excessive use of single-use plastic (SUP)

“banderitas” adorning the streets of Tondo and Pandacan, Manila on the occasion of the feast of the Santo Niño.

The group was puzzled over the extreme use of decorative materials made of disposable plastics such as the so-called “plastic labo,” as if the city and the entire country are not yet churning out too much plastic garbage. “Rarely reused or recycled, these banderitas consisting of semi-transparent plastic bags, plastic strips, or plastic packaging scraps add to the residual plastic garbage that ends up in dumps or on the streets and waterways. Far from being harmless, these disposable banderitas are a threat to the natural environment, especially when these are littered, burned, or dumped on land or at sea.
