Abstract

The objective of this study is to analyse the control of plastic waste in Ecuador. It was developed using a descriptive desk review, designed to analyse the control of plastic waste in Ecuador. Plastic waste management in Ecuador faces significant challenges that require concerted and multidisciplinary action. Although legal frameworks and policies are in place to address plastic pollution, increasing waste generation, especially exacerbated by the pandemic, has highlighted limitations in recycling infrastructure and the need for more effective legislative reforms. The inclusion of informal actors, such as waste pickers, and the adoption of fiscal incentives can be crucial steps towards more efficient and sustainable management.
