PLASTICS IN EECCA
In May 2024, a coalition of environmental organizations, including HEJSupport (International), AWHHE (Armenia), RUZGAR (Azerbaijan), Ecovision (Georgia), CSD (Kazakhstan-Uzbekistan), and CSA (Ukraine), launched a joint project entitled “Outreach and awareness-raising on prevention, minimization, and recycling options for plastic waste in countries of Eastern Europe, Caucasus, and Central Asia with the goal to reduce plastic pollution and minimize its impact on the environment and human health”. The project exemplifies our collective commitment to tackling the plastic crisis across five countries in Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia (EECCA).
The Plastic Waste Partnership under the Basel Convention supported the project to mobilize civil society, governments, and other stakeholders in the targeted countries to minimize plastic waste generation, promote environmentally sound plastic management, and contribute to sustainable plastic-free alternatives.
