About E-Pla2Meth
The increasing consumerism leads to rising amounts of plastic waste, and it is estimated that 6.3 billion tons of this waste were generated globally up to 2018. Plastic waste is a high concern in the Nordic and Baltic states, as 70% of waste found in the Baltic Sea is plastic. For this reason, a lot of efforts are made to…
