EP Seminar: Making the link between marine litter and the circular economy

Brussels, 4th November 2014: A policy seminar on marine litter and the
circular economy.

Seas At Risk will host an event in the European Parliament on the 4th of
November to discuss the upcoming review of EU waste legislation and new
proposals for a circular economy. The event will consist of two panel
discussions and question and answer sessions with the audience. We hope
to encourage policy makers to view this package as an opportunity to
improve European?s lives for the future.

Marine litter is rapidly being recognized as a serious threat to our
oceans, and many policy makers are actively working to find solutions.
As the problem is too big and too diffuse to deal with in the marine
environment, it must instead be stopped at the source.
