Push to prevent some countries from dumping plastic wastes on others

: Malaysia is determined to push for legislation to prevent some countries from dumping their plastic wastes on others.

Mageswari, who is representing Malaysia at the ongoing 14th Conference of Parties to the Basel Convention said such legislation could enable developing countries to put a stop to the arrival of unmanageable waste on their shores.Such legislation has become even more pertinent for Malaysia with the discovery of several plastic waste dumps across the country, especially Selangor, early this year. Most of that waste is from the rich developed countries.

Mageswari and Arisandi and their Philippine counterpart Von Hernandez want the rich countries to take back the waste they have already dumped in the poorer countries.
