Project Description

The #BePlasticWise movement from Ocean Wise exists to share the science behind ocean plastic pollution and by providing science-based tools, tips and resources that empower you to take action. The Plastic Reduction Program helps businesses reduce their plastic footprint and get ahead of proposed plastic bans. It’s a unique opportunity to tackle harmful and unnecessary plastic use! 

During their placement, Stephanie focused on creating a report that would help the Plastic Reduction Program Canada-wide. Some of the interesting research involved local waste management practices, as this impacts the accessibility of the Plastic Reduction Program.
