Statement of Requirements (SoR) for Goods Title: Branded materials for IslandPlas - Seychelles Background Project Reference: P04772 About IUCN IUCN is a membership Union uniquely composed of both government and civil society organisations. It provides public, private and non-governmental organisations with the knowledge and tools that enable human progress, economic development and nature conservation to take place together. Created in 1948, IUCN is now the world’s largest and most diverse environmental network, harnessing the knowledge, resources and reach of more than 1,400 Member organisations and around 15,000 experts. It is a leading provider of conservation data, assessments and analysis. Its broad membership enables IUCN to fill the role of incubator and trusted repository of best practices, tools and international standards. IUCN provides a neutral space in which diverse stakeholders including governments, NGOs, scientists, businesses, local communities, indigenous peoples’ organisations and others can work together to forge and implement solutions to environmental challenges and achieve sustainable development. Working with many partners and supporters, IUCN implements a large and diverse portfolio of conservation projects worldwide. Combining the latest science with the traditional knowledge of local communities, these projects work to reverse habitat loss, restore ecosystems and improve people’s well-being. www.iucn.org https://twitter.com/IUCN/ About the IslandPlas Project The IslandPlas project targets seven African Islands, that is, Cabo Verde, Comoros, Madagascar, Mauritius, São Tomé and Príncipe, Seychelles, and Zanzibar. Based on recent estimates, these Islands cumulatively generate an estimated two million tonnes of municipal waste annually. Plastic material constitutes an average 11 percent of the waste material, equivalent to 200,000 tons per year. Approximately 40 percent of the plastic waste is recovered through collection, leaving 118 thousand tonnes uncollected or mismanaged — posing the single largest source of plastic pollution in the marine environment. Once in the ocean, mismanaged waste negatively impacts the tourism sector, fisheries and aquaculture, shipping, and overstretches the budgets of municipal and national authorities responsible for waste management. The project, running until end of 2027, envisions African Islands that are free from plastic waste in the environment, and that circular measures are in place to ensure zero plastics to the ocean. The project actions are designed to reduce and prevent plastic waste leakage into the environment through demonstrating effective, quantifiable solutions to addressing plastic leakage. Among others, the project contributes to achieving the objectives prescribed in the Declaration adopted by the Ministerial Conference on the Blue and Circular Economy in the Island States of Statement of Requirements for Goods v1 March2024 Africa and the Indian Ocean (September 2023), that advocates for a blue and circular economy, enabled through circular entrepreneurship, skills development, increased investment towards science, research and development, and legal and policy reforms. The project is designed to strengthen understanding of national plastic material flows and waste and pollution footprint, integrate and support informal waste sector actors and local communities, support local ventures for innovation to reduce plastic pollution using locally-appropriate solutions, strengthen institutional capacities (municipal, informal sector) to catalyse change, and explore potential for an inter- regional recycling hub to support multiple islands. The project aims to achieve three main outcomes: • Sustainable and improved livelihoods of informal waste sector actors engaged in a circular plastics economy (9,600 beneficiaries); • Quantifiable regeneration of plastic waste material through circular approaches, including through plastic material recovery (14,000 tons), recycling (5,600 tons) and upcycling; and • Strengthened sector innovation and enterprise development with new growth opportunities through direct capital investments to locally appropriate solutions (US $2 million). At the heart of the project is the engagement and collaboration with diverse stakeholders, including from government, private sector, informal sector and civil society interlinked in a vibrant collaborative network to co-generate and demonstrate demand-responsive solutions to plastic pollution. It is therefore important that the project integrates or fits into existing government or municipal sector management systems, working in coordination with the urban local authority bodies or municipalities in order to capture, understand and address systemic weaknesses and gaps and provide an opportunity to articulate intervention measures that are locally-appropriate and socially acceptable to ensure sustainability of project outcomes.
