Ocean plastics reduction

Plage et océan

Global urgency

Every year, 400 million tonnes of plastic waste are produced, up to 199 million tonnes of which pollute the oceans. There are two main sources:

  • Land-based waste, from run-off, sewage, rubbish, industry and illegal dumps.
  • Marine waste, from fishing, boating and aquaculture, including ‘ghost fishing’ due to abandoned nets.

If left unchecked, plastic pollution of aquatic ecosystems could triple by 2040 to 37 million tonnes a year.

Integrated approach

MerAlliance focuses on the reduction, reuse, recycling and recovery of plastics.

In particular, we are implementing initiatives to encourage the recycling of plastics used in our industrial activities.

We are also deploying a specific action plan for the design of our packaging (see ‘Responsible packaging’ commitment).

Our goals

To help preserve our marine resources by recycling our plastic waste:

Sorting plastic waste from production (salmon crates and their ties, salt bags, sawdust bags, etc.)

Recovering plastic waste for the plastics industry
