The Japan Plastics Industry Federation Declaration Activities for Solving the Marine Plastics Problem

The Japan Plastic Industry Federation has been striving to promote “resin pellet leakage prevention measures” since the early 1990s, but the “new four-year plan (2017-2020)” approved at the annual general meeting in May 2017. Based on the above, we have decided to start ” Declaration Activities for Solving the Marine Plastics Problem “, which has expanded the scope to include plastic products.

The purpose of this activity is to voluntarily promote the industry’s efforts to address the marine plastic problem and to appeal it to society.

We ask that you understand the purpose of this activity and participate in the ” Declaration Activity for Solving the Marine Plastics Problem “.
