This page is for the scientific community, students, teachers, public authorities, technology providers, and anyone interested in the scientific knowledge produced through REMEDIES.
Here, you will find the project’s open access scientific publications, which share evidence, methodologies, and results linked to the three main REMEDIES pillars: monitoring and detection of (micro)plastic litter, collection and valorisation of plastic litter, and prevention and zero-waste alternative to plastics. The project is built around these three pillars and applies them through demonstration, validation, scaling, and replication activities across the Mediterranean.
Use this section to access REMEDIES publications, explore the scientific evidence behind the project’s work, and follow how research results support practical action for marine litter monitoring, clean-up, valorisation, and prevention.
