Plastic Waste Reduction Credits: An Introduction to the New Initiative

There is currently a growing momentum to put a halt on plastic pollution and move closer towards circularity, mostly due to growing scientific evidence, public pressure, and regulation. This session introduced and explored the role of plastic credits, a new environmental market-based financial mechanism, to address the plastic pollution problem in Indonesia and the region. We also discussed current international best practices, the 3R Initiative and Verra's plastics program to accelerate the uptake and increase the accountability of plastic waste reduction efforts.
