Program to fight ocean plastic pollution launched in Parañaque - Philippines

A US founded programme has recently launched a plastic buying and exchange center to address ocean plastic pollution in Parañaque City.

At the center, local residents will be able to exchange their clean, dry, and segregated recyclables for points that can be redeemed for various incentives like digital currency, rice, fresh vegetables and other sustainable or reusable items.

Do you think this idea could be replicated in SIDS? Establishing a "recycling center" would help local waste management systems?
