Abstract
In this research paper, it explores the topics of plastic sustainability and plastic waste management with a geographical focus on the country of St. Maarten. The research question posed, seeks to determine “How can St. Maarten become plastic sustainable through the help of governmental laws, local collaboration and education”. Interviews are conducted to investigate the research topic with representatives from the St. Maarten Development Fund, a non-profit governmental organization, Meadowlands B.V., a local waste management company, and The Green Dream Project Foundation, an educational foundation. These participants are included to reflect the respective knowledge and positionality from the governmental, organizational and communal levels within the society. The research finds that frameworks, local collaboration and education act as contributing factors to the development of plastic sustainability within the country. In addition, the large disconnect of collaboration among the governmental, organizational and communal levels highlights the challenge that is being faced in encouraging the people and developing the country to become plastic sustainable. Plastic sustainability can be encouraged through the implementation of frameworks, the engagement in local collaboration and through public education which can in-turn ensure a cleaner and safer environment for the country and people of St. Maarten.
