Plastic Pollution Hotspotting and Shaping Action, Regional Results from Eastern and Southern Africa, the Mediterranean, and Southeast Asia
This Report showcases the use of the guidance presented in the UNEP/IUCN National Guidance for Plastic Pollution Hotspotting and Shaping Action.
The Mediterranean mare plasticum
This report improves upon existing estimates of the amount of plastic currently entering the Mediterranean Sea by compiling data from field studies and employing the footprint methodology to estimate the annual influx of plastic.
Evaluating Scenarios Towards Zero Plastic Pollution
This research focused on modelling the stocks and flows of municipal solid waste, as well as four primary sources of microplastics, within the global plastic system.
Breaking the Plastic Wave
This report is a Comprehensive Assessment of Pathways Towards Stopping Ocean Plastic Pollution.
Breaking the Plastic Wave in the News
The report “Breaking the Plastic Wave,” which provides new insights into plastic pollution, has been disseminated through various media outlets.
National Guidance for Plastic Pollution Hotspotting
The guidance offers a structured approach to identify plastic leakage hotspots, assess their impacts throughout the plastic value chain, and prioritize appropriate actions.
Is Europe Living Within the Limits of Our Planet?
What are the key principles for allocating Planetary Boundaries to countries and regions? How has the EU performed over time in relation to these principles?
Plastic Leak Guidance
The Plastic Leak Guidance is the first science-based methodology to map, measure and forecast plastic leakage along the value chain.
The Marine Plastic Footprint
This report introduces a comprehensive framework to measure and assess marine plastic leakage using a life-cycle perspective.
Review of Plastic Footprint Methodologies
This report examines the available and developing techniques employed to measure the quantity, spread, characteristics, origins, routes, and destinations of plastic pollution at different levels.

This report provides a concise overview of the existing scientific gaps and challenges associated with the development of practical metrics for assessing plastic leakage and its impacts.
Plastic Fluxes and Stocks in Lake Geneva
This research compared two different approaches to assess the contribution of various sources to plastic pollution in Lake Geneva.
National Environmental Limits and Footprints Based on The Planetary Boundaries Framework: the case of Switzerland
This research proposes an approach to allocate global planetary boundaries to a country and determine whether the country is operating within these limits in a sustainable manner.
How To Avoid Pigeonholing The Environmental Manager?
The research investigates the role the environmental manager plays to ensure a successful (or not) implementation of ecodesign within an organisation.
Primary Microplastics in The Oceans
This report provides the first-ever global assessment of microplastic leakage into the ocean and compares it with the leakage from mismanaged waste on a regional scale.
Adopting a Life Cycle Perspective Through ISO14001: A game changer
This report is intended as a guidance document to enable the understanding of the full consequences of integrating life cycle thinking within ISO 14001 management systems and of how new opportunities arising from the integration may be seized.
Environmental limits and Swiss footprints based on Planetary Boundaries
The study presents calculated limits, footprints, and performance data for both Switzerland and the global context.
