Relevance |
Relevance – Region: The problem of marine debris has gradually endangered our marine ecology and directly impacted human life. Several APEC member economies started to develop methods for solving problems such as technological monitoring and investigation. This project aims to promote marine debris recycling by collecting marine debris to turn plastic wastes into consumer products and further launch a certification mark with an effective tracing mechanism and label on the product to prove that made from a portion of marine debris. In partnership with local businesses, non-governmental organizations, government officials, and institutions among the APEC member economies, connecting with a regional cluster of marine debris sustainability. The project plans a one-day workshop hybrid event to provides a cross-economy networking platform for the participants from APEC member economies, especially APEC developing member economies. They can share their experience and perspectives and learn from marine resources conservation studies and related mechanism procedures. Further, expand the APEC members' learning experiences to correspond to the future vision of a complete circular supply chain and sustainable society and enhance capacity building. Relevance – Eligibility and Fund Priorities: This project meets the criteria of ASF Sub-Fund: Marine Debris Management and Innovation for the following reasons, 1) The project delivers capacity-building activities that inform efforts to reduce and prevent marine debris in one or more APEC developing economies, with lessons applicable for APEC members more broadly. 2) The project builds the capacity of individuals, local businesses, non-governmental organizations, business associations, civil society organizations, or government officials and institutions charged with implementing programs or policies focused on managing land and sea-based plastic waste and reducing the impact of marine debris. 3) The project promotes and builds the capacity of individuals and non-government organizations to develop technical innovations that create value from plastic waste or that create secondary products from plastic waste to incentivize plastic waste collection and recycling to prevent and reduce marine debris. Relevance – Capacity Building: The project will conduct a one-day hybrid workshop in Taipei, to strengthen the capacity building. Through the workshop, all participants can exchange their skills, knowledge, and experiences on collecting, classifying, clearance, disposal, and disposal manufacturing of recycled materials products. It also offers an opportunity to assess the validity of the findings and provide the check, peer reviews, and consultations. The PO will ensure that most representatives from APEC economies participate in the workshop; Non-APEC members speakers are also in consideration for sharing the experience. In addition, the project will also share the best practices completed by local and/or overseas private companies that had been authorized with the certification mark and label on their products to prove that made from a portion of marine debris. It also benefits the private companies and APEC developing member economies to understand the technical process and tracing mechanism for future joint study, enabling a market mode for effective marine debris collection and product manufacturing to solve the plastic waste problem. |
Objectives |
The project's objective is to build capacity building and regional networking in APEC Region through a workshop in Taipei. This project expects to promote the certification mark of marine debris recycled products with an effective tracing mechanism among local and/or overseas industries in the APEC Region. The project will also display product biography via the website and encourage the public to voluntarily purchase a portion of marine debris-based products to deliver all authorized certification marks with information disclosure and transparency. The project will then offer the policy recommendations concluded in the project report and then disseminate in the APEC Region, strengthen the further collaboration on environmental protection, and connect to the suppliers of marine debris technical solutions and equipment suppliers from the target cluster. |
