Closing the Implementation Gap: Strengthening Plastic Management in Bhutan

Summary

Bhutan has strong laws to fight plastic pollution, but this report finds that putting those laws into action is falling short in real life. Less plastic waste means less of it breaking down into microplastics that can end up in our water, food, and eventually our bodies, so closing this gap between good policy and real-world practice matters for protecting public health. The researchers spent time in the field identifying what's holding progress back and offer practical steps to help Bhutan actually deliver on its environmental promises.
