The Plastic Waste in Remote and Mountainous Areas project, run by the UNEP-hosted Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm (BRS) Conventions, has introduced new waste collection points for plastic, glass, paper, and aluminium in the popular Ayusai mountain area near Almaty, visited by up to 3,000 people a day during the summer.<\/p>\n<p>Mountain regions, such as the Ayusai mountain area near Almaty, are especially vulnerable to plastic pollution due to high transport costs, harsh climatic conditions and poorer infrastructure compared to urban areas \u2014 hindering effective waste management. Survey results presented in Kazakhstan today by BRS reveal how plastic pollution is reaching high altitudes. Released ahead of World Environment Day, the survey of 146 mountain guides and snow sport professionals found that 63% believe plastic pollution has worsened in mountainous areas. Nearly 80% of those surveyed said they had seen plastic bottles and packaging littering in the wild.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Kazakhstan, the BRS project aims to prevent and minimize plastic pollution in 10 other countries, covering almost every continent. It is financed by the Governments of France, Germany, the Netherlands and Norway, as well as the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation and the Norwegian Retailer\u2019s Environment Fund.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.unep.org\/news-and-stories\/press-release\/unep-helps-tackle-waste-kazakh-mountains-plastic-pollution-hits-new\">UNEP<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/1-722\/\">UNEP helps tackle waste in Kazakh mountains as plastic pollution hits new heights<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22,1],"tags":[575,4352,6207,445,655],"class_list":["post-140381","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","category-yleinen","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-kazakhstan","tag-unep","tag-waste","tag-yleinen"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140381","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=140381"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140381\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=140381"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=140381"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=140381"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
