Registrations are invited for Online Certificate Course on Strategies to End Plastic Pollution by Centre for Science and Environment. The last date of application is March 8, 2024.
Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) is a public interest research organisation based in New Delhi. CSE researches and communicates the urgency of development that is sustainable and equitable.
Global production of primary plastic polymers has surpassed 400 million tonne (MT). The world generates 275 MT of plastic waste every year; over 50 per cent of this plastic that ends up as waste is manufactured for single use packaging. Globally, of all the plastics that have been produced, only 9 per cent has been recycled while about 12 per cent is incinerated. The rest is simply dumped and finds its way into our environment, including our waterbodies.
India reportedly generates 25,940 tonne of plastic waste on a daily basis, approximately 26 per cent of which is recycled. The remaining 74 per cent is mismanaged and ends up in dumpsites and on land and in water, adding to pollution.
Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) invites applications for an online course on all aspects of plastics and plastic waste management (see Course Highlights for details). At CSE, we have been working on policy and advocacy for reducing plastic pollution and recognise the need to adopt measures across the life cycle of plastic to end plastic pollution.
Participants will be awarded a certificate of completion upon successful completion of the programme.
March 12-19, 2024.
