Achievements in 2022
The second year of the project was the opportunity for the WWF-Philippines team to finalise the baseline studies for the three selected ports, as well as the national baseline study on the management of plastic waste in ports in the Philippines. These studies were a significant step to inform the development of action plans in the three ports and the selection of solutions to pilot to reduce plastic waste leakage.
