Tourism and Plastics

80% of all tourist destinations are

situated along coastal areas which is a

challenge to maintain given that the

world’s oceans are estimated to

accumulate eight million

(8,000,000) tonnes of plastic each

year.

Existing Initiatives from the Public

and Private Sectors

Gaps and Recommendations to Increase

Philippine Ambition on Plastic Pollution

Elimination of problematic or

unnecessary plastic packaging

through redesign, innovation, and

new delivery models is a priority.

● Existing multiple unique designs

but not widely recognized

● Too focused on narrow set of

solutions

● Finalization of NEAP

● Provide incentives

● Promote sustainable and innovative

brands

● Invest in natural or indigenous

materials

● Progress of reuse / refill

packaging is slow

● On-going pandemic

● Disposables = “more hygienic

option”

● Promotion and incentives

● Educational public campaigns

● Using of SUP is not a

sanitation measure

Reuse models are applied where

relevant, reducing the need for

single-use packaging

● Relevant Senate Bills have not yet

been passed

● Low capacity to combine both

redesign and innovation in

business models

● Plastic monitoring and reporting

schemes

● Support commitments of brands

● Incentives for companies in the plastics

industry

● Collaboration with plastic industries

All plastic packaging is 100%

reusable, recyclable, or

compostable

GAPS RECOMMENDATIONSGlobal Tourism Plastics Initiative

(GTPI) Common Vision

Gaps and Recommendations to Increase

Philippine Ambition on Plastic Pollution

All plastic packaging is reused,

recycled, or composted in

practice

● Low awareness and enforcement

of segregation at household level

● Lack of disposal facilities and

plastic waste recycling

infrastructure

● Extended Producer

Responsibility

● Partner with recycling/

upcycling organizations

● Renewable energy is underutilized

● Insufficient technological capacity

for converting local materials into

sustainable packaging

● Scale up R&D for recycling

and / or repurposing plastic

● Utilize agricultural by-

products

The use of plastics is fully

decoupled from the

consumption of finite resources

● Lack of local guidelines and

policies on safety standard,

consumer information on

packaging materials, and

general awareness

● Increase consumer awareness

campaigns on ecolabeling and

certification benefits, safety

standards, and guidelines

All plastic packaging is free of

hazardous chemicals, and the

health, safety, and rights of all

people involved are respected

Global Tourism Plastics Initiative

(GTPI) Common Vision GAPS RECOMMENDATIONS

AIM: To increase awareness among tourism stakeholders on the environmental

problems created by single-use plastics and to gradually change behaviors.

TARGET GROUPS: Tourists, hotel staff, managers and procurers

This campaign was initiated and developed by UNEP, and localized by the PCEPSDI

Recommendations for the Tourism Sector to Continue Taking Action on

Plastic Pollution During COVID-19 Recovery

One Planet Network – Sustainable Tourism Programme (STP)

Recommendations for the tourism sector to continue taking action on plastic

pollution during COVID-19 recovery

The tourism sector’s response to the pandemic has placed a strong focus on public health and hygiene,which has often resulted in an increased demand for disposable plastic items.

The recommendations aim to raise awareness of the importance to consider the environmental impact ofhealth and hygiene measures and highlight how single-use plastics are not sanitization measures inthemselves, as well as the advantages that eliminating plastics represent to reduce cross contaminationtouch points.

Arabic Chinese English French Russian Spanish

Tackling plastic pollution in COVID-19 times

Remove unnecessary plastic packaging and items to reduce cross contamination touch points;

Develop robust cleaning and sanitization procedures that encourage the adoption of reuse models;

Evaluate the use of unavoidable plastic packaging and items, enquire about their recyclability and reassess needs on a regular basis;

Engage suppliers, waste management providers and local governments to improve the effectiveness of actions, coordination and resilience;

Ensure open and transparent communication with staff and clients.

REMOVE UNNECESSARY PLASTIC PACKAGING AND ITEMS TO REDUCE CROSS CONTAMINATION TOUCH

POINTS

Single-use plastic items and packaging are not sanitization measures in themselves – the virus can survive on these - and can represent touch points.

• Reduce touch points where indirect contact with an infected person can happen

• Remove unnecessary plastic packaging and items to reduce touch points

• Every single use-plastic packaging/item should be properly sanitized

• Make only the necessary plastic items accessible and available to the guests (or available upon request)) to avoid unnecessary sanitizationSource: GTPI, Recommendations for the Tourism Sector to Continue Taking Action on Plastic

Pollution During COVID-19 Recovery, July 2020

DEVELOP ROBUST CLEANING AND SANITIZATION PROCEDURES THAT ENCOURAGE THE ADOPTION OF

REUSE MODELS

• Develop clear and comprehensive protocols for staff to ensure successful implementation of health and sanitization procedures

• Safety and hygiene are critical for both single use and reuse models

• Reuse models allow stakeholders to directly ensure the application of sound hygiene and sanitization procedures, gaining greater control over such processes

• Ensure that staff use single-use gloves/ masks solely when it is necessary from a health-related perspective

• Implement practices for sound management of chemical products to avoid impacts on human health (staff and guests) and the environment.

Source: GTPI, Recommendations for the Tourism Sector to Continue Taking Action on Plastic Pollution During COVID-19 Recovery, July 2020

ENGAGE SUPPLIERS, WASTE MANAGEMENT PROVIDERS AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO IMPROVE THE

EFFECTIVENESS OF ACTIONS, COORDINATION AND RESILIENCE

• Enhance (or establish where non-existent) coordination mechanisms with suppliers to increase influence and improve information flows in order to ensure application of established hygiene and safety protocols

• Leverage this influence to reduce the amount of unnecessary plastic packaging and items going into tourism operations

• Increase engagement of waste service providers to ensure non-hazardous (plastic) waste is collected and segregated until it is recycled or properly disposed

• Enhance coordination with key relevant authorities and peers to reduce hazardous waste

Frequently asked questions

1. Is ‘wrapping up of the remote control in plastic film’ a

useful sanitization measure?

2. Should the accommodation providers return to single-

sized amenities, instead of existing refillable shampoo/soap/other dispensers?

3. Should refillable water stations be taken out of the

operations?

4. Should restaurants and catering services give

preference to disposable cutlery to respect hygiene standards?

5. Is double packaging of food and beverage products a

recommendable practice from hygiene perspective?

• User-centered designDetailed review of reports

Addressing single-use plastic products pollution:

A Life Cycle Approach – Key messages for tourism businesses

One Planet Network – Sustainable Tourism Programme (STP)

Key messages across all single-use plastic products

Reduce the use of single-use products

regardless of the material

Promote reusable products and systems in

your tourism business

Use consumer-targeted communications to

ensure products are continuously reused

Aim to decrease the environmental footprint

of production (through reuse and partnering

with suppliers engaging in sustainable

production methods)

Engage with suppliers offering smartly

designed products

Use resource-efficient washing technologies

Ensure good waste separation systems for

products reaching the end of their life cycle

Know your context when making decisions

related to single-use plastic products
