The UN Environment Programme consultation workshop, 15-16 February 2018, Paris

Bringing together plastics and marine experts, the workshop examined marine plastics information and the source of marine plastics, including problematic products and polymers; key actors, sources and sectors; legal and policy frameworks at national and subnational levels; and global governance frameworks, among others. The group also discussed marine plastics value chain mapping, and identification of hotspots and key intervention points along the value chain following a life cycle approach.
