PRESENTATION
Plastic pollution is growing exponentially, and greenhouse gas emissions generated by the plastic life cycle threaten the ability of the international community to keep the global temperature rise below 1.5°C.
Given the urgency of the situation, Circe.med is currently focusing on plastic pollution in all its forms. The network has created its first working group dedicated to plastic and has launched a preparatory study for the PlaticMed Lab, a laboratory dedicated to solutions against plastic pollution in the Mediterranean.
Circe.med aims to mobilize the stakeholders of the Mediterranean basin and seeks to identify, promote and reproduce solutions and good practices based on advanced technologies for the management and recycling of plastic waste.
