Marine Litter Hub is intended to serve policy makers, researchers and anyone else interested in the subject, with the aim of encouraging an informed global discussion about policy responses to the problem. The site features reports, articles and other resources on marine litter and microplastics and the related topics of plastic pollution, waste management and the global waste trade. The geographic focus is global, but some of the resources are focused on the Arctic, which is disproportionately affected by marine litter.
The website was created and is maintained by GRID-Arendal, with funding from the Norwegian Ministry of Climate and Environment.
