What is PlastiCity
PlastiCity is a three-year research project, which is aiming to increase the amount of commercial and industrial plastics recycled in the 2 Seas region – England, France, Belgium and the Netherlands (https://www.interreg2seas.eu/en/Plasticity)
What is the aim of PlastiCity?
We are currently gathering information on the status of commercial plastics and the extent of recycling. The aim of the project is to find solutions and replicable strategies for plastic recycling and to promote a circular economy.
How does PlastiCity benefit Southend on Sea?
Lost plastics are products that cannot be recycled or products that are used for a single time, before staying on the planet for over 300 years. The project will also look to research and develop strategies and solutions to identify, collect and recycle more commercial and industrial plastics.
This will improve the living conditions of more than half a million residents in the 2 Seas region by reducing the amount of plastic pollution.
