< Back Circularity Assessment Protocol In partnership with the Circularity Informatics Lab – Jambeck Research Group University of Georgia Goal ​ SPS served as the local implementing partner (LIP) conducting fieldwork in three cities within Metro Manila, Philippines. Field work included product and packaging assessments in stores across the city; key stakeholder interviews with government, industry, and non-profit organizations; material type characterizations for consumer plastic items; cost analysis of reusable products and alternatives to plastic available in the city; visual audits of recycling contamination; identification of public waste and recycling collection bins; and litter transects in three categories of population Timeline 2020 Partners Jambeck Research Group Previous Participants ​ How we made waves Contributed in writing and research for 'The Circularity Assessment Protocol in Cities to Reduce Plastic Pollution Next

< Back Healthy Oceans and Clean Cities Initiative (HOCCI) HOCCI aims to help local governments and communities in the Philippines reduce marine plastic pollution, in support of the implementation of the National Plan of Action on Marine Litter (NPOA-ML). Goal ​ The Healthy Oceans and Clean Cities Initiative (HOCCI) is a regional project funded by the Government of Japan and is being implemented by UN-Habitat in the Philippines in cooperation with global, national, and local partners. HOCCI aims to enable local governments and communities in the Philippines to reduce marine plastic pollution. SPS led the writing and research of the paper Community Behavior Change Strategies for Plastic Waste Reduction: 10 Key Questions, which explores barriers and motivations, and offers recommendations to promote behavior change at the community level. SPS also edited and did the layout for two more papers: Waste Management Infrastructure Gap and Extended Producer Responsibility. The Marine Litter Learning Kit was designed for educators and facilitators who organize environmental education programs that focus on marine litter. It uses the learning-by-doing approach, providing hands-on activities and games for learners. The Marine Litter Learning Kit has 10 experiential learning activities with accompanying instructional videos to (i) engage facilitators and learners in raising awareness on marine litter and its impacts on communities and wildlife; and (ii) empower the learners to take action on marine litter as individuals, in their homes and/or communities.

< Back Circularity Assessment Protocol Circularity Informatics Lab – Jambeck Research Group University of Georgia in Collaboration with Save Our Philippine Seas Goal ​ Developed by the Circularity Informatics Lab at the University of Georgia, the Circularity Assessment Protocol (CAP) is a standardized assessment protocol to inform decisionmakers through collecting community-level data on plastic usage and management. Grounded in materials flow and systems thinking concepts, the CAP uses a hub-andspoke model to holistically characterize how consumer plastics flow into a community, are consumed, and flow out, either through waste management systems or leakage into the environment.
