Our publications showcase research insights, policy recommendations, case studies, and progress updates from across the IslandPlas programme.
Through knowledge sharing and evidence-based analysis, we aim to inform decision-makers, support innovation, and promote scalable circular economy solutions that effectively address plastic pollution in African island states.
IslandPlas partnered with local authorities and community enterprises to address rising plastic leakage into coastal ecosystems. The project introduced a decentralized waste collection model, established neighborhood sorting hubs, and provided technical training to local micro-entrepreneurs. Through awareness campaigns and school engagement programs, household segregation rates increased significantly within the first six months. The initiative also supported the launch of a small-scale plastic recovery facility, enabling collected materials to be processed locally instead of being exported or landfilled.
