Cork County Council In- itiative Macroom E will welcome


delegates from


Norway, Greenland, Scot- land and England to join with key industry experts at an event which takes place


Cork on Tuesday, Septem- ber 4th


in County Hall, . Focussing on solu-

marking and producer responsibility schemes, which combined have the potential to bring consid- erable positive change to the management of waste fishing gear. Current re- search estimates approx- imately 8 million tonnes of plastic enter our oceans each year, with the Ellen McArthur Foundation citing there is likely to be more plastic than fish in our seas by 2050.


Circular Ocean’s final seminar will delve into the harsh realities of marine pollution, bringing togeth- er a selection of experts di- rectly involved in initiatives that work to combat the dangers of marine plastic, while also introducing po- tential solutions for reuse, recycling or reprocessing of end of life fishing net material

Speaking ahead of the Project


Co-ordi- nator for Circular Ocean Julie Crowley acknowl-


edges that “although the challenge is of global pro- portions, it is particularly relevant to host the event in Cork, as one of the largest fishing regions in the coun- try. There has been lots of interest in the event, as the public appetite to curb the flow of plastic pollution to our oceans continues to grow, while finding ways in which to give new life to waste material is fast becoming a commercial advantage. We hope the event will


support for current initia- tives, encouraging others


to rethink waste plastic as a valuable raw material.”
