Reduced Littering of Single-Use Plastics

The study includes a mapping of 19 single-use plastics in Norway and an analysis to evaluate whether a transition to alternative materials and multi-use products can contribute to a reduction in marine litter. An analysis of the costs and environmental consequences related to a transition to the different alternatives has also been completed. The analysis is based on today’s consumption of single-use plastics (SUP) (2018) and the amount of waste generated, in relation to 2 scenarios: 1) A complete transition to single-use non-plastic products (SUNP) and 2) A complete transition to multi-use items (MU).
