The Ministry of Environment revealed that only 40% of the plastic which was onboard the MV X-PRESS PEARL has washed ashore along Sri Lanka’s coastal line.
Minister of Environment Mahinda Amaraweera says the definite details on the rest of the 60 per cent of plastic that was on board are yet to be ascertained.
1034 tonnes of plastic that washed ashore along the country’s coastal line were stored in 44 freight containers in the Wattala area, he added.
