Our Vision & Goal for Plastic Reduction
WWF-Laos envisions a future where plastic pollution is significantly reduced to protect people, wildlife, and ecosystems. Our plastic and waste management program supports the National Plastics Action Plan and the Plastic Smart Cities initiative in both urban and rural areas. By promoting sustainable alternatives, reducing single-use plastics, and strengthening effective waste management systems, we aim to prevent plastic leakage into nature. These efforts are integrated across WWF-supported projects and communities, contributing to a healthier environment, reduced pollution, and improved well-being for both people and wildlife – supporting Laos’s transition toward a cleaner and more sustainable future.
