                    [Summary] => Of the 3,928,000 tons of solid wastes generated in Metro Manila every year, some 120,000 tons are of plastic material which is a problem. Fumes from burning plastic can cause a wide range of ailments including skin diseases, asthma and some forms of cancer. 


Burning plastic releases noxious smoke that may release cancer-causing gases into the air which people downwind have to breathe. Burying plastic with other garbage can contaminate soil and groundwater. Even recycling, widely endorsed to reduce solid wastes, does not effectively reduce the volume of used plastics.
