Project STOP
Waste sorting in Muncar. Thanks to the commitment of our partners and the incredible work of local communities, Project STOP has collected more than 10,000 tonnes of waste and prevented environmental leakage.
Borealis has announced a significant financial commitment to expand Project STOP, an initiative it co-founded with SYSTEMIQ in 2017 to prevent plastic waste from entering the world’s oceans. The announcement came on 8 June, World Oceans Day.
The support will enable the project to continue to scale up efforts to create effective circular waste management systems in high-need areas of Southeast Asia.
“We at Borealis want to showcase together with our partners how to end the plastic waste issue,” said Borealis CEO Thomas Gangl. “Plastics are key for prosperity and a modern life. We need to implement waste management solutions to avoid any negative impact to the environment from those valuable materials. As Project STOP continues to grow, we look forward to welcoming new strategic partners, whose skills and resources will be crucial to addressing this significant global challenge together.”
