Historical Context

The 3RproMar project was initiated in response to the 2019 ASEAN Bangkok Declaration on Combating Marine Debris and the ASEAN Framework of Action on Marine Debris. A National Stakeholder Consultation Workshop was held in October 2022; introductory workshops in Bacolod City in July 2023. A baseline study (WFD analysis) was completed by GOPA Infra GmbH. The Informal Waste Sector Conference and a learning visit in Negros Occidental were held in August 2024. A 3rd Regional Forum/Workshop was held in Iloilo City. The report (January 2025) indicates Phase 2 is envisioned for further plastic value chain studies.
