Misdeclared Mixed Waste Shipped Back to South Korea from the Philippines
Container vans containing misdeclared mixed waste from South Korea are set to be repatriated by the Bureau of Customs in Misamis Oriental, The Philippines. A total of 51 container vans will be sent back to South Korea, and is just part of the trash-filled container vans illegally sent by Verde Soko, Inc. to the Philippines last July and October, 2018. Greenpeace lauds the quick and decisive action of the Bureau of Customs in resolving this issue. This action sends a very strong message that the Philippines is not a dumping ground and the broken system of recycling puts developing countries, like the Philippines, at risk.
