Mia MacDonald quoted in The Guardian

Executive Director Mia MacDonald was quoted in an article in The Guardian called, “The blight of Tetra Paks covering Vietnam’s beaches and towns.” The article is about the increasing consumption of dairy in Vietnam and the waste caused by it, especially by a specific kind of packaging called Tetra Pak. Mia says, “I find it strange and unsettling that so little is known about what happens to Tetra Pak packaging when it’s being distributed in such vast quantities across regions such as Vietnam. Tetra Pak appear to have seen the potential for growth in south-east Asia, and are now trying to capitalise on that with small, single-use cartons that are quickly consumed and then thrown away. And the packaging appears benign: it’s not obviously plastic or glass or metal – it presents itself as recyclable.” You can read the full article here.
