Parallel session 2: Stakeholders consultation on the proposal “Reducing marine litter by
addressing the management of the plastic value chain in South East Asia”
22-23 November 2017, Phuket, Thailand
Kakuko Nagatani-Yoshida, UN Environment Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific
National and sub-national baseline data on plastic pollution (inc. spillage sites and occasions) collected,
analysed, and disclosed
Pathway for Change
Regionally coordinated, national standards on quality and types of plastics
(e.g. thickness, additive selection) with link to waste management regulations
Reduction in marine plastic because less plastics in waterways and coastal areas (even at times of extreme weather events)
Imp
act
Less plastic “wasted” in Southeast Asia
Outreach on impacts of marine plastic
Plastic pellet producers and
package manufacturers and users (e.g.
Retail) supporting sustainable
consumption and production
Solu
tio
ns
Me
ans
Increase in plastic
segregation at source
Increase in production and use
of quality plastic (safe and easier to
recycle)
Strong incentives for
plastic recycling
Increase in plastic re-used and recycled (especially bottle-to-bottle recycling)
Plastics in waterways and
coastal areas intercepted for
disposal
Reduction in most harmful and difficult to recycle plastic
Cost of plastic pollution
internalized
compliance with existing regulations on disposal and discharge
Increased recovery and
re-use of plastics
Establishment of plastic pollution expertise in critical sub-national
governments
Awareness on regulations and plastic
pollution and impact created
Increased surveillance and
compliance at critical spillage
sites and occasions
Reduced spillage of plastic to waterways and to the coastal areas in Southeast Asia
Major plastic spillage sites and occasions identified
Plastic solid waste streams and in wastewater, better managed
Variety and volume of alternative packaging
increased
Powerful branding of alternatives
Switch-over to non-plastic
packaging material
Incentives and risk reduction for plastic
reduction
Region-wide awareness on plastic pollution and public
support for policies to fight it
More certified and registered
plastic recycling companies
Reduction in intentional
plastic release

Direct Outcome
Medium-term Outcome
Direct Outcome
• Reduction in most harmful and difficult to recycle
plastic >> Less plastic in landfills
• Collection, analysis and disclosure of the information
on plastic value chain (with focus on packaging) >>
Redesign, Reuse and Recycle
• Strong incentives for plastic reduction and recycling
>> Robust formalized recycling with improved
economics and quality
• Identification of major plastic spillage sites and
release occasions >> Region-based research and
monitoring
Less plastic “wasted” in Southeast Asia & better managed plastic solid waste stream
Outputs Impact Outcomes
Theory of change
Successful Pilot demonstration of reduced single use plastic packaging & bottle to bottle
reuse and recycling
(i) Delivering on the SDGs (Goal 14, 6, 11,12, 3, 1, 5 ) (ii) Recent and future trend of plastic production, consumption, waste management (collection, transportation, recycling & disposal) (iii) Innovative alternative materials and technologies in terms of cost and performance (iv) Increased surveillance and compliance at critical spillage sites and occasions (v) Availability of Innovative financing stream, Increased public financing & private sector participation in waste , incentives for plastic reduction & recycling (vi) Poverty alleviation & gender inclusiveness considering coastal livelihoods & tourism
Countries are seeking ways to prevent and address the impact of plastic and marine litter Stakeholders will use the knowledge, tools, and methodologies to influence policy, regulatory, enforcement & monitoring processes, R&D, production,
consumption, treatment , disposal & recycling. Private and public sectors are willing to cooperate especially for demonstration and innovative financing Inter-agency collaboration (waste water, waste, marine & coastal & industries) Establishment of plastic pollution expertise in critical sub-national governments Using existing regional forums for knowledge sharing, synergies , awareness & technological innovation Enabling factors for the achievement of the SDGs are present

system
Regionally coordinated, national standards on quality
and types of plastics (e.g. thickness, additive

Outcome 1: Increase in production and use of quality plastic (safe and easier to recycle)
Outcome 2:Increase in plastic segregation at source
Outcome 3: Region-wide awareness on plastic pollution and public support for policies to fight it

created
Powerful branding of alternatives
Solutions 1. Establish baselines on plastic and plastic waste
• Regulatory instruments
• Plastic value chain (selected plastic types [small plastic,
• Regional interventions (e.g. ASEAN Working Groups jointly working on synchronization of plastic recycling labelling)
