Action Ocean Plastic Waste
Action Ocean Plastic Waste
Plastic pollution has reached all the world's oceans, fueled by many million additional pieces of plastic entering the seven seas every single day. From macroplastics to microplastics, to chemicals leaching from the debris, ocean plastic waste is detrimental to the health of the Blue Planet.

Inspired by NTNU's Knowledge for a better world Action Ocean Plastic Waste aims to stimulate awareness, facilitate research, disseminate knowledge, and inspire action in pursuit of UN SDG 14 and its targets - engaging researchers, students, industry, NGOs, and other stakeholders across disciplines, organizations, borders, and cultures.
For questions or suggestions regarding this initiative, please contact professor Karl Klingsheim.
Interns for Sustainability, funded by The Norwegian Retailers’ Environment Fund, aims to inspire and motivate students and young researchers to engage in topics related to combatting Ocean Plastic Waste – by providing relevant information, global networking opportunities, and access to projects with external partners.
SANO Exchange Program 2020-2023 is operated jointly with the Sustainable Seas Trust in South Africa. Each year, a new cohort of participants works in teams across academic, social, geographic, cultural and legislative boundaries to combat plastic waste and prevent marine pollution.
