An environmental group is calling on the Chinese government to look into the garbage shipped to the Philippines from Hong Kong
— The government is working on getting rid of another garbage shipment dumped into the country, this time tons of plastic wastes from Hong Kong.
Environmental group EcoWaste Coalition is calling the Chinese government to look into the case, noting that the 40-foot container van containing 22 bags of mixed plastic waste has been at the Mindanao Container Terminal in Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental since January 2. The cargo arrived on board SITC Fujian from the company Hin Yuen Tech. Env. Limited and was consigned to Crowd Win Industrial Limited.
EcoWaste Coalition joined the BOC Northern Mindanao in the inspection of the shipment last Wednesday. "As guardian of the gate, we cannot allow our country to be treated by others as a disposal or dumping site for world's garbage," Simon said.
