The Philippines is the third-ranking contributor to plastic pollution in the world, with estimates ranging between 2.7 and 5.5 million metrics tons generated each year, 20% of which leaks into the environment. With no interventions, mismanaged plastic waste could reach 9 million metric tons by 2040 and 11 million metric tons) by 2060.
