Plastics are said to constitute around 16% of all the waste generated in Samoa, with approximately 7,000 tonnes thought to be consumed every year. Most of it is estimated to be 1L or 2L polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles.<\/p>\n<p>A letter from UN Special Rapporteur on Toxics &amp; Human Rights Marcos Orellana explains that Samoa is located at a distance from international offshore recycling markets and has a limited recycling capacity. As a small island developing state (SIDS), it faces roadblocks when it comes to waste management and recycling \u2013 these include limited technical and financial resources, high transportation costs, and difficulty achieving economies of scale.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, much of its plastic waste is condemned to littering or illegal dumping, polluting land and marine environments. Alternatively, the waste can end up in incineration or landfill, but Samoa has limited space for waste disposal; its main landfill site in Upolu, Tafaigata, is reportedly reaching capacity.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/packagingeurope.com\/news\/un-investigates-coca-colas-reusable-glass-to-plastic-bottle-switch-in-samoa\/12813.article\">Packaging Europe<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/2-710\/\">UN investigates Coca-Cola\u2019s reusable glass to plastic bottle switch in Samoa<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","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":[2848,575,18767,402,655],"class_list":["post-139952","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","category-yleinen","tag-coca-cola","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-samoa","tag-un","tag-yleinen"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139952","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=139952"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139952\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=139952"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=139952"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=139952"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
