Work Package One
In Work Package 1, project countries are conducting research to establish knowledge about the initial context for solid waste in marine litter. These studies include the analysis of plastic waste leakage from land-based sources and the sampling of solid beach litter in selected municipalities. The findings are compiled in baseline reports, which also include a material flow analysis.

Work Package Two
Work Package 2 focuses on implementing practical pilot solutions that demonstrate sustainable local actions to reduce marine litter and promote a circular economy in the region. These pilots serve as both proof-of-concept and scalable models for wider application.
Pilot activities include support for plastic collection and recycling in collaboration with local stakeholders, the establishment of waste barriers and recycling networks, as well as the development of guidelines for municipalities. Additional measures involve the introduction of municipal solid waste plans and circular economy strategies targeting the plastics sector, along with support for relevant policy and treaty processes.
These pilots are supported by BlueBox, a key outreach and learning tool that provides guidelines, tutorials, and best practices. Together with beach clean-ups and training programmes, these actions contribute to regional strategies and policy improvements.

Work Package Three
Work Package 3 strengthens regional and national policy frameworks through inclusive dialogue and technical support. It provides tools like EPR guidelines, case studies, and technical papers (e.g., on foam packaging and ISO standards) to assist governments and stakeholders in aligning with circular economy goals and international treaties. These resources form the knowledge base for informed, collaborative policymaking across the Caribbean.

Work Package Four
Work Package 4 focuses on engaging the public and key stakeholders through awareness campaigns that promote behavioral change and support marine litter reduction. Activities include beach clean-ups, EPR trainings, and outreach using the PROMAR Compendium: a collection of tools, stories, and media resources designed to spread knowledge and inspire action across the Caribbean.
