CSIRO and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade have launched a new $1.3 million partnership to work with Indonesia to tackle plastic pollution in the Indo-Pacific. The Plastics Innovation Hub Indonesia will bring together researchers, investors, businesses, communities and government leaders from around the Indo-Pacific region to develop solutions that can be implemented to address the challenge of plastic waste in the oceans and waterways. Dr Larry Marshall, CSIRO chief executive, said ocean pollution is a global challenge that Australia can assist with, to deliver both an economic and environmental benefit through an innovative and collaborative approach.
