WES Press Release - WES concludes regional training on phasing out Single Use Plastics

In the Mediterranean region, plastic pollution is one of the major threats to the environment. In order to address the development of policy measures linked to phasing out Single-Use Plastics (SUPs), the EU supported WES project has just concluded a regional training, organised in the form of a series of four webinar sessions implemented from January to February 2021. The training was attended by participants working for Ministries of Environment, Ministries of Industries, private sector (plastic and beverage producers) and NGOs from the Southern Mediterranean countries. They came together with relevant experts in order to strengthen their skills and capacities to identify, prioritise and operationalise targeted measures to phase out Single-Use Plastics (SUPs).
