Assessment on Preventing Leakage of Single Use Plastics in Pacific Island Countries

In collaboration with an international team of experts, WREN’s Director, Dr. Amardeep Wander, is contributing to an assessment aimed at preventing the leakage of single-use plastics into the marine environment in Pacific Island Countries (PICs). Targeting Fiji, Kiribati, Samoa, and Vanuatu, the project aims to provide these governments with a framework to reduce single-use plastic leakage. Through a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis that considers economic, social, and environmental factors, the study will inform decision-making, policies, and investment planning for the sustainable production and consumption of plastics.
