OceanWise Stakeholders meeting in Vigo

14 MARCH 2019

The second participatory session of the OceanWise project took place in Vigo, at Cetmar. 30 Spanish stakeholders got together for a full morning of debate in search for solutions to make the EPS and XPS products less of a risk to the marine environment. 

The wide group of participants included: EPS producers, EPS recyclers, waste management companies, EPS Industry profesional associations, manufacturers of machinery for EPS waste  uptake, port authorities, representatives from the fisheries and the acquaculture Industries, a supermermarkets group, a territorial cooperation entity, and NGOs.

Organized by Cetmar, which is one of the partners to the project, this participated session resulted in a whole set of proposals, concerns and ideas which the stakeholders agreed to and which will now  integrate the OceanWise process. 

The most highlighted topics by the stakeholders in Vigo were: Management, specific Legislation and Regulation, Awareness raising, Financial Incentives, and Research and Innovation.
