Following SCP/RAC work on guidelines to phase out single use plastic bags and guidelines to address single-use plastics through public procurement, the Centre has been mandated by the Barcelona Convention Contracting Parties to elaborate policy guidelines to reduce single-use plastics (SUP) in the Mediterranean.
Within this process, preparatory work has to be carried out in terms of analysing the effects of different policy options, gathering specific information on the Mediterranean context, and raising countries’ awareness and capacities to address SUP. These are the main goals of the current call for experts.
