Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
Sure, developing countries don't have the infrastructure to recycle. The point of criticism here is reduce.
Datapoint: I'm vietnamese and think the use of plastic is unnecessary. It doesn't take much education to understand that plastic is bad, especially when the government has no hesititation to govern people's thought.

- LeeroyWasHere 3y agoLazada and Shopee probably contribute a chunk of the plastic waste.
- latchkey 3y agoSo does Amazon, on a more epic scale. Your point? The real contribution to plastic waste in Vietnam, is just 99% of Vietnamese. Anyone can set up a shop anywhere in Vietnam and they all hand out insane amounts of plastic. Even the charity work I did there to help feed people amounted to filling up plastic bags to hand out.
