Summary of the content and its utility
The Travel & Tourism sector, vital to global prosperity, faces a critical responsibility in preserving the environment. Recognizing the detrimental effects of plastic pollution, the sector is increasingly adopting measures to address single-use plastic products (SUPPs), promoting reusables, and implementing strategies for elimination. Collaborating with local governments and waste facilities, the aim is to transition to a circular approach. Research by UNEP and WTTC explores the sector's contribution to SUPPs and highlights challenges, including those posed by COVID-19 prevention measures. The report also showcases successful case studies of SUPP elimination, indicating progress towards a more sustainable future.
