This year, the project once-again actively engaged in the SEA of Solutions, an initiative from the UN Environment Programme and the Coordinating Body on the Seas of East Asia (COBSEA), which took place in a virtual format in November 2020.

The SEA of Solutions is an annually occurring partnership event towards solving plastic pollution at source and focussed on the overall theme of “Wasting less plastic and keeping it out of the ocean – Has the needle moved?”

Alvaro Zurita, the team leader of ‘Rethinking Plastics’ joined the panel of the session on ‘Taking responsibility: Business models and incentives for plastic neutrality’ to present and actively discuss EPR mechanisms with close to one hundred live participants. In addition, the project hosted a virtual exhibition pavilion providing key information on the project, its results so far, the planned pilot projects and contacts for exchanges.
