Because reducing single-use plastics isn’t just about materials — it’s about 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘀, 𝗴𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. One of the best examples comes from 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗻, the European Green Capital 2023. With guidance from BALTIPLAST, the city successfully transitioned its public events toward 𝗿𝗲𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀, showing how data-driven strategy and behavioral insights can transform everyday practices. Tallinn’s case shows that 𝘴𝘰𝘧𝘵 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘥𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘴: less waste, lower emissions, and greater public ownership of sustainability goals. As presented in Sardinia, 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 form the backbone of an effective circular transition — where governance and behavior evolve together.

But what if companies could 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦 and 𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘦 their single-use plastic footprint — and save money doing it? At the 𝗦𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗮 𝗦𝘆𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘂𝗺 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱, we presented our latest results from the 𝗕𝗔𝗟𝗧𝗜𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗦𝗧 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁, including the 𝗕𝗔𝗟𝗧𝗜𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗦𝗧 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹 — a practical, data-driven method that helps companies across the Baltic region track and cut their plastic and carbon footprints. 🔹 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀: • Participating companies achieved 𝟯𝟵–𝟲𝟲% 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗶𝗼𝘅𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 through reuse, refill, and behavioral changes. • These same measures also reduced procurement and waste costs by 𝟮𝟲–𝟰𝟲% — proving that 𝘴𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘱𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘰𝘧𝘧. The Inventory Tool turns awareness into action: it identifies plastic “leverage points,” quantifies impacts, and recommends tested alternatives for real-world change. As we scale this across the region, the next step is policy integration — turning local innovation into a 𝗰𝗶𝗿𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿, 𝗹𝗼𝘄-𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗻 𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝘆. ♻️ Learn more about the BALTIPLAST project: https://lnkd.in/e86kdtPB 📅 𝗝𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝘂𝘀 at our Final Conference: “From Waste to Wisdom: Baltic Quest for Plastic Reduction” 🗓️ Turku, Finland | 10–11 December 2025 | More details: https://lnkd.in/eZE7_vhG #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #PlasticReduction #CarbonFootprint #BalticSea #InterregBSR #BALTIPLAST #MadeWithInterreg
