Plastic Tax in Indonesia: a Double Dividend Strategy for Marine Pollution Reduction and Sustainable Revenue Generation
AI summary Read the abstract
Indonesia is drowning in plastic waste, with hundreds of thousands of tons leaking into the ocean each year—breaking down into microplastics that can end up in the seafood we eat and the water we drink. This study proposes a plastic tax that could raise billions of dollars while cutting pollution, money that could fund better waste management and ocean cleanup instead of letting the problem grow. It's a reminder that smart policy—not just individual choices—may be key to reducing the plastic that eventually finds its way into our bodies.
