Pagbabalik ng basura sa SoKor hindi napigil ng COVID-19
TULOY pa rin umano ang pagbabalik sa tone-toneladang basura sa South Korea.
Ayon sa EcoWaste Coalition tiniyak ng Bureau of Customs sa Department of Finance na ibabalik ang basura sa South Korea na dumating sa bansa noong 2018.
Sa kabuuang 5,177 metriko tonelada ng basura, 2,676 metriko tonelada na ang naibalik. Ang huling batch na ibinalik ay 50 container vans noong Marso 21, 2020.
“We commend and support the efforts of the BOC, particularly Customs District 10, to pursue the re-export of the unlawful waste shipments as agreed upon with the government of South Korea despite the many hurdles that have to be crossed, including the COVID-19 outbreak,” ani Aileen Lucero, National Coordinator ng EcoWaste Coalition. “We hope the overdue re-export of SoKor’s waste in the country will be completed soon.”
Ayon kay BOC-10 District Collector John Simon nagkaroon ng problema sa trade supply chain dahil sa coronavirus disease 2019.
“The remaining South Korean plastic trash in Misamis Oriental is a stark reminder of the country’s continuing problem with imported waste and the need for decisive measures to stem the tide of waste dumping into our ports,” dagdag pa ni Lucero.
