Plastic Free Southeast Asia is a social impact business aimed at stopping plastic pollution at the source. The organisation designs and delivers important initiatives to increase awareness and encourage tackling the over-consumption of plastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chi Lo sat down with Sarah Rhodes, Founder of Plastic Free Southeast Asia<\/a> about the Plastic Free July programme, PFSEA, and the plight of plastics in the tourism industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CHI: Hi Sarah, you tell the story of how Plastic Free Cambodia<\/a> began on your <\/strong>blog<\/strong><\/a>, so I won\u2019t ask you again, but can you tell us how Plastic Free Cambodia became Plastic Free Southeast Asia? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SARAH: During conferences and events people from other parts of Southeast Asia would say to me, “I wish we have Plastic Free in our country.” In 2018 I worked with two partners in other countries, Myanmar and Laos, and was continuing to get interest from around the region. I decided to change the name so that no one would feel that this is something only available in Cambodia, that I can help a wider audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CHI: Plastics is such a hot topic right now \u2013 what differentiates PFSEA\u2019s activities? What sorts of projects are you working on right now? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SARAH: PFSEA has spent time listening, learning and working closely with local communities to understand their barriers. Our workshop programs bring in knowledge, team building and problem solving elements and have proven results. We work hand in hand with businesses to get real change happening. This is why our impact is different, and we\u2019re stopping plastic at its source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our annual Plastic Free July<\/a> program is in its fifth year. It\u2019s exciting to see how the community has grown \u2013 we\u2019re also holding live online events to reach our growing audience. This year there will be classes, parties and product launches, panels, film screenings, coffee talks, and more, concentrated in both Siem Reap and Phnom Penh. The Facebook page<\/a> has a listing of events where people can get involved! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The big project in the pipeline is an online course, hopefully the first of many, giving greater access to the kinds of things our workshops offer, but to more people in more locations. It\u2019s a program that is beneficial to people whether they are taking their first steps in increasing their knowledge or already on the path and wanting to know more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CHI: Sorry for the clich\u00e9 question, but I must know \u2013 what are your biggest challenges and successes? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SARAH: Waiting for our partners to be \u2018ready\u2019. Sadly, despite the growing awareness, it\u2019s still often a lower priority for many businesses and organisations. I often meet the eco champions of a company and they are hindered from being able to move forward. Once we get people in a room, the transformation is incredible \u2013 it\u2019s getting them in the room that is the challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CHI: In terms of tourism, what can the industry do to make less plastic impact? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SARAH: Start with operational aspects of the industry. Tour companies and hotels can make a huge difference by reducing the majority of their single-use plastics. Then, look at better awareness for travelers. Often travelers feel that they don\u2019t have options when they\u2019re in another country, so it is up to the host destination to show them how they can be part of the solution. As a start, travelers can also prepare for their travels by bringing a water bottle and tote bag in their luggage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CHI: Advice such as \u201cBring your own water bottle\u201d or \u201cSupply guests with branded water bottles\u201d are such common tips to reducing consumption of single use plastic. What merit does this advice have? Do you find that people are actually bringing their own? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SARAH: If we tell people to stop using all of the plastic immediately, it\u2019s overwhelming. The merit of bring your own bottle is that it provides an accessible entry point to further steps. Many people bring their own, many more wish they had once they get to their holiday location. Then it has to be easy for people to refill their bottle and that\u2019s definitely improving throughout the region. As long as we use this as step one and build on it from there, we will see greater reductions in more areas of plastic use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The

CHI: What kinds of plastic-related travel & tourism trends are you seeing in the region?  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SARAH: More tour companies are encouraging their guests to reduce plastic. Many such as EXO Travel<\/a> and Intrepid<\/a> give their guests a tote bag at the start of their trip and advise them to use it. They also encourage their partners to be more eco conscious too. Programs like Refill Not Landfill<\/a> and many similar programs are making a huge difference to how people consume water whilst they\u2019re travelling. Zero waste or plastic free flights are starting to become available and that\u2019s definitely a trend I\u2019d like to see more of. And more travelers are making conscious travel decisions\u2026 as the customer they have a lot of power over this, so I also hope they continue to use their social media and their tourist dollars to make bigger impacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CHI: As consumers, we are offered plastics in so many ways. How can we take a stand against plastic when it is so prevalent in our daily lives? What impact would our voices as consumers make to plastic producers and manufactures of products that use plastic? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
Source: PFSEA<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

SARAH: The truth is, there are more than 7 billion of us, and we can make such a huge impact if we choose to engage. Producers and manufacturers are focused on one thing: profit. If we don\u2019t buy their stuff, they will lose profit margin and ultimately adapt to what we want. We have the power if we\u2019re willing to make short term changes to our behavior and speak up for what we want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can also be more conscious in our actions. In travel and daily life we\u2019re often presented with \u2018free\u2019 plastic; the bag at the market, the bottle of water, the free samples at the supermarket, etc. Saying “no” to these free things will have amazing results. How many plastic bags do you have stowed in a cupboard or under the kitchen sink? How many times have you taken a conference delegate pack for example because it\u2019s handed to you? Then you get home from the conference and pack it away or put it at the office for it to gather dust. Eventually you throw it in the bin. What a huge waste. Let\u2019s stop doing that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CHI: Awesome, Sarah. Thank you \u2013 I think that’s a brilliant note to end on! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
