Ending Plastic Waste : Community Actions Around the World

Many informal organisations around the world are making a positive impact on the environment and their communities by turning waste into a resource, increasing the social capacity of their community and reducing the amount of pollution in their environment.

Ending Plastic Waste: Community Actions Around the World presents a collection of stories, advice and information from experts in the fields of waste management, plastic pollution and environmental finance to give a broad outlook on how 19 programs from 14 different countries are protecting our planet.

By sharing these journeys, the authors hope to encourage others to take a community approach to ending plastic waste.

Perfect for decision-makers working in environmental and marine fields, industry stakeholders, and citizen scientist groups, this book provides guidance on how to successfully implement a new program, what resources are needed and the lessons learned by the people behind these programs in overcoming barriers.
