Caribbean Regional Report (Antigua and Barbuda, Grenada, and St. Lucia) for the Plastic Waste Free Islands project – IUCN

The aims of the IUCN Plastic Waste Free Islands (PWFI) project were to Reduce plastic waste and leakage, Improve the knowledge of waste generation among three islands in the Caribbean and three in the Pacific, Repurpose waste into commercially viable products to generate jobs and income for local communities, Create value chains for waste plastic usage, and Develop a Plastic Wate Free Island blueprint to be scaled up and used by any island country or regional body.

In this report, seven plastic categories were targeted for assessment and qualification: PET; HDPE; PVC; LDPE; PP; PS and other plastics (polycarbonate, polylactide).

Other materials, including Policy Reviews, Quantification Reports and more are available by email with a request toplastics@iucn.org.

The Blueprint, in four languages, is available here.

A waste segregation guide and alternative value chain business plansare available here.

A report for the Pacific is also available here.

The work of Plastic Waste Free Islands was funded by the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation - Norad.
