I REFER to the letter “Malaysia needs to upgrade to 5R” (The Star, April 23). I am sure all Malaysians who are interested in the environment will thank the writer for taking such a keen interest in the subject.

However, the writer does not really address the issue of how to reduce and possibly eventually eliminate the growing problem of plastic waste.
