PlasticFlow Mekong

This initiative focuses on the pressing issue of plastic waste in the Southeast Asia region, with a special emphasis on the Mekong countries: Thailand, Vietnam, Lao PDR, and Cambodia. The aim is to enhance the monitoring system for plastic leakage, incorporating science, technology, and innovation (STI) into comprehensive solutions.

The project engages a wide array of stakeholders, including public and private sectors, academia, NGOs, and government agencies, to support and advance plastic waste management at both national and regional levels. Activities are concentrated on fostering sustainable practices, developing mechanisms for plastic leakage prevention, improving the detection and monitoring of plastic waste, and enhancing plastic waste collection methods.

The overarching goal is to implement STI-focused solutions to address the plastic leakage problem in the Mekong region, facilitating collaboration across various sectors to identify and promote sustainable solutions. This effort aims to establish a benchmark for plastic waste monitoring frameworks at the city level, contributing to the advancement of waste management practices.
