The Philippines is reported as a top contributor of plastic pollution to marine coastal environments, but research on macroplastics and microplastics is still in its infancy with methodological and technological constraints. While government efforts are underway to enforce plastic regulation policies, it is unclear if local research on plastic pollution has influenced these policies. The connection between research and policy enforcement remains unclear, presenting gaps that require further work to establish effective plastic regulation policies.
The Philippines was reported as one of the top plastic polluters (macroplastics and microplastics (MPs)) to the marine coastal environment, which necessitated the development and enforcement of plastic regulation policies. However, the nexus between the growing research on macroplastic/MP and the plastic regulation policies in the country is unexplored. Current review suggests that macroplastic/MP research in the Philippines is still in its infancy owing to methodological and technological constraints to apportion the sources and fluxes, characterize macroplastics/MPs, and identify influencing socio-environmental factors. While government efforts are underway, it is also unclear if local researches on macroplastics/MPs were the basis in institutionalizing the existing plastic regulation policies. Therefore the nexus between the researches carried out on this problem and the policies enforced cannot be concluded. Overall, this review presents gaps on the macroplastic/MP research needing more work on the problem to establish a sound science plastic regulation policy.
