Plastic-Free Future: Local Solutions for the Baltic Sea

Join us for an engaging online event exploring how the BALTIPLAST project is helping communities reduce single-use plastics to protect the Baltic Sea. Learn from Västerås municipality, which has taken bold steps to cut plastic use through strategic planning and strong political support.
Discover practical tools and solutions developed by BALTIPLAST—ranging from household actions to municipal strategies—and learn how you can make a difference.
