WREN is undertaking research and networking to understand successful projects addressing plastic pollution in Small Island Developing States (SIDs). The initiative aims to create a collaborative framework to tackle the complex problem of plastic waste, fostering sustainable resource-recovery mechanisms, job creation, and strengthening trade agreements for international commodity markets. Supported by the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and the PREVENT Waste Alliance, this effort focuses on consolidating knowledge on managing and preventing plastic waste in small islands and remote coastal areas worldwide. The white paper will be launched at INC 4 in Canada in April 2024.
