Solid waste management and marine litter in the Koh Rong Archipelago: Finding & recommendations from an assessment of solid waste management systems

This study focuses on absence of adequate solid waste management (SWM) as a key driver of Cambodia's marine litter & plastic pollution. As such, the study assesses solid waste management (SWM) in the Koh Rong Municipality (KRA) with a focus on its relevance to marine litter and macro-plastic pollution in the Koh Rong Marine National Park (KRMNP). Findings from this assessment have been used to develop a series of policy and onsite recommendations to improve SWM and reduce marine plastic pollution in the KRMNP. This report and its recommendations also speak to broader action under The World Bank’s National Plastics Action Plan and Road Map (draft, 2020).
