The Climate Change Commission has pushed for a ban on single-use plastic in government offices to contribute to the government's broader climate change agenda.This was after CCC commended the Department of Trade and Industry for the issuance of an order which bans the unnecessary use of single-use plastics across all DTI offices and facilities nationwide.
'DTI's order reflects this advocacy that we hope will create a ripple effect that will inspire other national agencies, local government units, and private institutions to adopt similar measures,' he said.He noted that the policy also supported the Philippines' Nationally Determined Contributions under the Paris Agreement, especially in the waste sector.
