How do we tackle marine plastic pollution today and in the future? Join a professional pre-party (faglig vorspiel) to discuss solutions, responsibility, and new systems for reducing plastic pollution from fisheries and aquaculture.
It has been a while since marine plastic dominated the headlines in Norway and around the world. The issue is still very much alive, particularly in the fields of research, governance, and industry.
On Wednesday, April 22, we invite you to a professional pre-party (faglig vorspiel) at Nøstegaten with a positive outlook.
We will highlight notable examples of efforts being made to reduce plastic pollution from aquaculture and fisheries. An updated panel will discuss how we can address past impacts and make effective use of new initiatives and regulations.
• The innovation cluster Clean Oceans will provide insights into projects related to fishing gear and circularity.
• The knowledge company SALT will present reception solutions for collected marine waste in Norwegian ports.
• The producer responsibility organization NORSIRK will explain how they are working to establish systems that meet the requirements for extended producer responsibility for plastic equipment from fisheries, recreational fishing, and aquaculture, with the goal of preventing and reducing littering, the spread of microplastics, and contributing to a circular economy.
We will conclude with a panel discussion on the opportunities presented by new initiatives and systems under extended producer responsibility, and how these can help us manage lost or discarded waste and gear. The audience is welcome to ask questions.
