Following SCP/RAC work on guidelines to phase out single use plastic bags and guidelines to address single-use plastics through public procurement, the Centre has been mandated by the Barcelona Convention Contracting Parties to elaborate policy guidelines to reduce single-use plastics (SUP) in the Mediterranean.
Within this process, it is crucial to tailor the guidelines to specific situations in the Mediterranean context. Thus, the call for experts intends to gather information on the baseline situation of SUP in one country per non-EU Mediterranean sub-region, as well as on the potential impacts that policy measures could entail.
