At the Our Ocean conference on 5-6 October 2017 in Malta, Borealis, Borouge, mtm plastics and SYSTEMIQ announced Project STOP (Stopping the Tap on Ocean Plastics) – a EUR 4 million initiative to accelerate waste management system improvements in South-East Asia.At the Our Ocean conference on 5-6 October 2017 in Malta, Borealis is announcing Project STOP (Stopping the Tap on Ocean Plastics)\u00a0– a EUR 4 million initiative to accelerate waste management system improvements in South-East Asia. The project aims to make a scalable front-line contribution to marine plastic debris prevention and ocean health. It will be driven and co-funded with local and global partners, and aims to launch in Indonesia in 2018.<\/p>\n

Borealis joined forces with Borouge, mtm and SYSTEMIQ to develop this new initiative, focusing on prevention of marine plastic debris from mismanaged waste on land. South-East Asia has been identified as a major source of marine plastic debris as economic development and plastics consumption have outpaced the expansion of waste management systems in the region.<\/p>\n

From July to September 2017, a successful feasibility and scoping assessment was carried out in Indonesia. The feasibility and scoping assessment tested the concept of \u201csystem-enabler\u201d partnerships with city governments –\u00a0 providing expertise and support to transition the waste management system to a zero-leakage pathway with increasing rates of plastics recycling, job creation in new after-use economies and public health benefits.\u00a0 The first city partnership will be launched in 2018.<\/p>\n

After the first city partnership has been successfully established, our ambition is to contribute to wider scale-up and replication in the region.<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t
