What kind of solutions?

This map is set up to locate and showcase technical solutions aimed at solving plastic pollution. The chain (process) of plastic pollution is quite diverse and so are the initiatives attempting to solve this problem. The map focusses on technological solutions, which can be distributed, adopted, further developed and scaled-up. With technologies we mean: any kind of tools, software, hardware. A non-tech type of solution, but scalable, which we also include are: waste management chains.
