Additionally, we will support public entities, businesses, and households to reduce their pile of plastic waste by using our innovative plastic inventory tool.

This collaborative effort aimed to leverage the collective expertise and insights of both teams, fostering a dynamic exchange of ideas and strategies to enhance the overall impact and effectiveness of the initiatives undertaken by each project. By engaging in these joint working groups, the teams aimed to capitalize on complementary strengths, share valuable experiences, and align their efforts to address common challenges in the realm of plastic waste management and environmental sustainability within the Baltic Sea Region.
