Hybrid Conference hosted by The Regional Knowledge Centre for Marine Plastic Debris (RKC-MPD) of ERIA and the Ministry of Environment of Cambodia

ERIA’s RKC-MPD in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment of Cambodia will shed light on the current plastic waste management challenges in Cambodia, highlight the important role played by the private sectors, and share lessons learned from international and regional experience.

One of the important missions of RKC-MPD is to promote private companies whose business activities help combat (marine) plastic waste, in the hope to promote this positive shift. RKC-MPD has established an online platform titled ‘Private sector initiatives to reduce plastic waste and marine plastic debris’ (https://rkcmpd-eria.org/story). This online interface called the Private Sector Platform (PSP) in short, hosts information submitted by private companies operating in all ASEAN+3 countries to showcase their products, services, or technologies contributing to the reduction of plastic waste and marine plastic debris. The platform collects and disseminates private companies’ business activities that are conducive to marine plastics mitigation. It also aims to encourage Business-to-Business, Business-to-Government and/or Business-to-Consumer opportunities in the ASEAN+3 region.

The forum will be an occasion for the Ministry of Environment of Cambodia, Cambodian business alliances, and Cambodian private companies to stocktake the progress made, and discuss the many ways private companies can contribute in combatting plastic waste and marine plastic debris. RKC-MPD will reintroduce the Private Sector Platform (PSP) to the public, particularly to the private companies, to raise more awareness of the platform and attract a larger number of private companies to join the fight against marine plastics.
