  • 2023

In response to the marine plastic debris challenge, the AIS Forum Secretariat, partnered with the UNDP Marine Plastic Waste project Viet Nam and Thailand is working on an initiative to find innovative breakthroughs that can tackle marine plastic pollution.

The Ending Plastic Pollution Innovation Challenge (EPPIC) program, aims to contribute to reducing plastic pollution in coastal areas in Southeast Asian countries including Indonesia and the Philippines by bringing together local communities, local governments, and the private sector to collaborate in building effective solutions. and innovative. The pilot implementation of EPPIC under the AIS Forum Secretariat and UNDP Indonesia is being implemented in Indonesia in the fourth quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022.

Innovative ways to fight ocean plastic are already being developed, but they often lack the support or visibility they need to grow. EPPIC provides an exciting opportunity for innovators to receive seed funding and incubation training to help them maximize their chances of success.
