Contribution to UNEP (NbS and Plastics-INC)

The objective of this project is to test the formulation and properties (such as strength and decomposition rate) of a biodegradable and compostable bioplastic mulch, in order to adapt for agricultural applications.

The objective of this project is to test the formulation and produce a bioplastic masterbatch (an additive or binder for imparting other properties to plastics), which is hypothesized to increase the biodegradability of bioplastics.

Recycle and waste reduction of all possible goods coming into TCI Manufacturing Inc such as plastics strapping, plastic pallets, wood pallets, straps, chains, paper core, stretch wrap, coffee cups, roll ends, fabric waste from manufacturing tarpaulins, etc

The project aims to contribute to the diversion of plastic pollution in rivers, deltas and oceans at global and national levels using a circular economy approach (a regenerative approach to production and consumption, in which products and materials are redesigned, recovered and reused to reduce environmental impacts).

The Global Plastic Action Partnership (GPAP) seeks to reduce the growth in global plastic leakage around the world by developing country-level strategies to reduce waste across the plastics life cycle. On a global level, GPAP provides a platform and convening mechanism for the emerging range of initiatives seeking to tackle plastics pollution. At the national level, GPAP works collaboratively with governments, businesses, civil society and other key stakeholders in several countries to: (1) bring together public and private leaders; (2) develop national action and investment plans to address plastic waste in the economy; and (3) align investors to advance action in support of these plans.

Project activities include: (1) organizing alignment workshops with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and academia working on metrics and standards for measuring plastics waste pollution; (2) conducting GPAP engagement activities to inform public and private sector financing mechanisms on plastic initiatives in target countries; and (3) organizing outreach events to ensure that plastics-related policies receive the endorsement of government agencies and NGOs focused on women’s issues in target countries.

The project aims to benefit Indonesia, Ghana and Vietnam through the development of national plans to combat plastic waste, with the opportunity for greater engagement regionally in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), Africa and among small islands states in the Pacific and the Caribbean.
