The GPML Digital Platform Updates

THE GPML DIGITAL PLATFORM

The GPML Digital Platform is multi-stakeholder and partly open source, compiling and crowdsourcing different resources, integrating data and connecting stakeholders to guide action on addressing the global problem of plastic pollution and marine litter. 

The resources cover all stages in the plastics life cycle, with respect to prevention of litter and waste, design and production, use and consumption, waste management and marine litter monitoring and capturing. Read the Concept Document here, and the One-pager here.
