Contract

This is a UNV contract. More about UNV contracts.

In 2022, thanks to our volunteers and Online Volunteers via UNV platform, we released a report assessing how Europe was doing in reducing single use plastics. We want to update this report and release it in December 2024. The 2022 report, can be found here: https://rethinkplasticalliance.eu/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/SUP-Implemetation-Assessment-Report.pdf

All the names of the contributors, including from the UN platform, were cited at the beginning of the report.

In order to update our understanding of the situation in Bulgaria and draft a report, we are looking for the following information to be compiled in a word document:

  1. Identification of the national regulations that were adopted following the adoption of the EU directive in 2019 on single use plastics (SUP) that concern SUP items and following the 2022 report;

  2. Short paragraph on where the discussion stands/ answer to the following question: were there any new developments between September 2022 and now regarding the measures on SUP items?

  3. Compile links to 3 or 4 press articles released in 2023 and 2024 in the Bulgarian national media on SUP pollution and write a short summary on the content of each one of these articles.

We are looking for English and Bulgarian speaking volunteers interested in doing research on measures against single use plastics in Bulgaria and report them back to us in a short briefing document in English.
