But for the TT Solid Waste Management Company, (SWMCOL) legislative changes and more citizens recycling can see many of these bottles removed from the environment and money going into people's pockets. CEO Kevin Thompson spoke on the plastic pollution situation in the country during an interview last week at SWMCOL's head office, Independence Square, Port-of-Spain on the occasion of World Consumer Rights Day on March 15 and the theme – Tackle Plastic Pollution.
