The project aims to provide needs-based advice to BMUV, taking into account the national and international discourse surrounding the fight against marine litter. The project uses targeted strategies and approaches to encourage the sharing of experience at an international level. It also advises partners in developing countries and emerging economies and supports the implementation of specific measures.
Publications from the project
Gender in focus: Towards inclusive solutions to plastic pollution
The global plastic value chain is shaped by gender inequalities—from resource extraction to disposal. This study highlights the importance of a gender-sensitive perspective and approaches for more inclusive measures against plastic pollution.
Small Island Developing States and plastic pollution
The study examines how Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are particularly affected by plastic pollution and the challenges they face in managing plastic waste. It also highlights their needs and options for action in the context of a global agreement on plastic pollution.
Study on Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and Marine Plastic Pollution
The study assesses the role of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) in preventing plastic packaging waste in the ocean. It highlights opportunities and limitations and emphasizes that EPR should always be part of a comprehensive package of measures for effective implementation.
Study on Circular Economy and Plastic Pollution
The study presents approaches and experiences from GIZ and its partners to reduce plastic pollution. It shows how circular economy approaches can help decrease plastic pollution along the entire value chain.
Criteria for circular packaging design in a future global plastics agreement
The study examines circular packaging and eco-design for plastic packaging and single-use plastics, considers the entire value chain from design to recycling, and provides recommendations for a global plastics agreement.
