Greenpeace urges eco-consideration in Morocco plastic expansion
The article discusses the expansion of the plastic packaging industry in Morocco and Greenpeace's call to consider environmental and health considerations when examining this growth. It pointed out that new investments, such as a project costing 150 million dirhams that provides around 200 jobs in Sidi Boulbaba, should align with goals to reduce plastic pollution, minimize reliance on single-use products, and promote a circular economy. The article also emphasized the importance of adopting extended producer responsibility policies and the need to address pollution impacts, which are estimated to cost the Moroccan blue economy $26 million annually and are significantly affected by plastic waste reaching the Atlantic Ocean. Greenpeace called for support for a strict global plastics treaty to advance sustainable solutions, protect the environment, and safeguard public health.
