This Report showcases the use of the guidance presented in the UNEP/IUCN National Guidance for Plastic Pollution Hotspotting and Shaping Action.
This report improves upon existing estimates of the amount of plastic currently entering the Mediterranean Sea by compiling data from field studies and employing the footprint methodology to estimate the annual influx of plastic.
This research focused on modelling the stocks and flows of municipal solid waste, as well as four primary sources of microplastics, within the global plastic system.
This report is a Comprehensive Assessment of Pathways Towards Stopping Ocean Plastic Pollution.
The report “Breaking the Plastic Wave,” which provides new insights into plastic pollution, has been disseminated through various media outlets.
The guidance offers a structured approach to identify plastic leakage hotspots, assess their impacts throughout the plastic value chain, and prioritize appropriate actions.
What are the key principles for allocating Planetary Boundaries to countries and regions? How has the EU performed over time in relation to these principles?
The Plastic Leak Guidance is the first science-based methodology to map, measure and forecast plastic leakage along the value chain.
This report introduces a comprehensive framework to measure and assess marine plastic leakage using a life-cycle perspective.
This report examines the available and developing techniques employed to measure the quantity, spread, characteristics, origins, routes, and destinations of plastic pollution at different levels.
The study raised awareness about plastic pollution in Switzerland, and its findings were utilized by the government and covered in the media.
This report provides a concise overview of the existing scientific gaps and challenges associated with the development of practical metrics for assessing plastic leakage and its impacts.
This research compared two different approaches to assess the contribution of various sources to plastic pollution in Lake Geneva.
This research proposes an approach to allocate global planetary boundaries to a country and determine whether the country is operating within these limits in a sustainable manner.
The research investigates the role the environmental manager plays to ensure a successful (or not) implementation of ecodesign within an organisation.
This report provides the first-ever global assessment of microplastic leakage into the ocean and compares it with the leakage from mismanaged waste on a regional scale.
This report is intended as a guidance document to enable the understanding of the full consequences of integrating life cycle thinking within ISO 14001 management systems and of how new opportunities arising from the integration may be seized.
The study presents calculated limits, footprints, and performance data for both Switzerland and the global context.
