WREN led the development of a regional compendium of alternatives to single-use plastics (SUPs) as part of the Pacific Ocean Litter Project (POLP), an initiative funded by the Australian Government and implemented by SPREP. The project supports Pacific Island Countries (PICs) in identifying practical, scalable alternatives to SUPs that reflect local market realities and end-of-life management needs. WREN’s role included researching and compiling suitable product alternatives, aligned with POLP’s broader objectives to reduce plastic waste in coastal environments, promote sustainable consumption, and build technical capacity across the region. The compendium forms a key resource for governments, businesses and communities to adopt viable plastic reduction measures, contributing to long-term environmental and economic benefits in the Pacific.
