In 2020, the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) started a three-year project entitled ‘Clean Ports, Clean Oceans: Improving Port Waste Management in the Philippines’ funded by the Grieg Foundation. The project focuses on three ports in the Philippines, namely the Manila North Port, Port of Batangas, and Port of Cagayan de Oro. The project will work to achieve 50% plastic waste leakage reduction in the three aforementioned Philippine ports; provide input to the Philippines’ National Plan of Action on Marine Litter; and document the port waste management solutions to enable scaling up in other Philippines and global ports.
