In close collaboration with Save The Med & Ibiza Preservation, two organisations supported by BeMed in the framework of the call for projects in the Mediterranean islands, Menorca Preservation Fund wants to develop a plastic free certification in companies and businesses of different sectors.
Main results of the project:
As part of this project, two surveys were designed to better understand perceptions and barriers to plastic use, both among consumers and businesses. The surveys collected 252 valid responses, which were analysed and summarised in visual reports translated into Spanish and English. The results address issues such as perceptions of unnecessary packaging, overpackaging, barriers to more responsible consumption, and awareness of current regulations.
An online workshop was held to share these results with local authorities and businesses and to initiate a dialogue on concrete levers for action to reduce plastic use.
Specific training on best practices in the hospitality sector was provided to 38 professionals (employees and managers) to strengthen their role in the transition to sustainable alternatives and give them the keys to take concrete action in their daily work.
Finally, the project supported the participation of 11 companies in Menorca in the ‘Plastic Free Balearics’ certification process, with personalised support for the assessment, certification and monitoring of their commitments.
