Description
1) Objective
The U.S. Department of State (Department of State), Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs (OES), Office of Environmental Quality (ENV) announces an open competition for organizations interested in submitting applications to be the host for a new international public-private partnership, End Plastic Pollution International Collaborative (EPPIC), which aims to significantly reduce plastic pollution by strengthening enabling environments, raising public awareness, and promoting multistakeholder engagements that advance solutions to enhance circularity across the plastics lifecycle, particularly with innovation in upstream design and production.
EPPIC is designed to catalyze solutions, innovation, and investments that can maximize circularity by bridging government and stakeholder actions in support of the global effort to end plastic pollution. EPPIC will work to advance the transition to circular approaches for plastic, including through but not limited to:
1. Sharing innovative ideas and best practices for plastic circularity
2. Undertaking pilot projects to implement new solutions
3. Build capacity to address plastic pollution
4. Recognize excellence in implementing plastic circularity to provide prestige and visibility for catalyzing change
5. Complement government efforts to address plastic pollution, including after entry into force of a future global agreement on plastic pollution
6. Address vulnerable and marginalized communities that can have disproportionate negative impacts arising from the release of plastic into the environment
2) Eligibility
