TunisiaMorocco takes concrete actions for the prevention of marine litter through the EU’s SwitchMed program
Yesterday, on May 10th 2018, SwitchMed organised a forum in Rabat on alternatives to single-use plastic bags and how to improve the collection and recycling of beverage packaging.
During this meeting, the SwitchMed and Marine Litter Med programs funded by the European Union, presented the concrete actions put in place for the prevention of plastic waste and the promotion of green entrepreneurship.
