\nfocused on a comprehensive situation assessment and the development of
\ntechnical guidelines, which aimed at preventing plastic and resin pellet
\nleakage from recycling facilities. This phase covered six key ASEAN cities: Pattaya,
\nNonthaburi, Hanoi, Iloilo, Manila, and Vientiane. The situation assessment
\nrevealed critical factors contributing to plastic leakage. That resulted in the
\ncreation of technical guidelines\u00a0and manuals tailored to each city to
\nimprove recycling process and practices to prevent plastic leakage across both
\nformal and informal sectors. The outcomes of Phase 1, including the Situation
\nAssessment Reports and Technical Guidelines, have been published and are
\navailable for free access here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nof Phase 1, Phase 2 of the CaRMPAC Project aims to expand its reach to
\nadditional cities and countries, including Phnom Penh, Ho Chi Minh City,
\nBandung, Davao City, and others. Over the next 24 months, this phase will address
\nthe capacity gaps identified in Phase 1, with a particular focus on informal plastic
\nrecyclers and relevant city government regulators. The objective is to promote
\nresponsible recycling practices and sustainable plastic management through
\nenhanced training, increased awareness, and improved regulatory support.\u00a0<\/p>\n
