The improper disposal and treatment of plastic waste is one of the gravest environmental concerns facing Guyana and addressing it must involve all, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has said.
It said that to mitigate this problem, efficient means of recycling and/or reusing of plastic, particularly PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles must be found. It stressed that everyone — individuals, households, regulatory agencies, municipalities, importers and manufacturers – must become involved.
